**Hi everyone,**

I am struggling with a persistent compatibility issue on Google Play that I cannot resolve. My app is being marked as incompatible with many devices, specifically the **Samsung Galaxy S10 (Android 12 / API 31)**.

The error message in the Google Play Console Device Catalog is:  
**“Does not support framework version: 34 and above.”**

**Problem Details:**

- I first encountered this issue in **UE 5.4**.

- Switching the project to **UE 5.7** did not help; the error remains exactly the same.

- The issue persists regardless of the **Target SDK** version (tested with both **34** and **35** ).

- The issue persists regardless of the **Minimum SDK** version (tested with both **21** and **26** ).

**Technical Data:**

- **Analyze APK** in Android Studio confirms that `minSdkVersion` is set to 26 (when 26 is selected) and `targetSdkVersion` is correctly set (34 or 35).

- The manifest includes: `com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID` and `DYNAMIC_RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED_PERMISSION`.

- **Build Configuration:** Shipping.

- **Architecture:** arm64-v8a.

- **Rendering:** Support OpenGL ES3.2 is ON, Support Vulkan is OFF.

**What I’ve tried:**

1. Using `ManifestRequirementsOverride.txt` to force SDK settings.

2. Disabling various plugins (including Google Play Services, XR, and others).

3. Full clean of `Intermediate`, `Saved`, and `/Build/Android` folders.

4. Testing different NDK API Levels (21, 26, and 35).

Despite having a Minimum SDK of 21/26, Google Play insists that the app requires Framework 34. This suggests that something in the engine’s build process or a mandatory dependency is triggering this requirement, but I cannot identify what it is.

Has anyone faced a similar “Framework 34+” lock regardless of the engine version or SDK settings? Any advice on how to investigate what exactly is forcing this requirement would be greatly appreciated.
