Expo: App must target Android 13 (API level 33) or higher

So you have an Android app on the Google Play store that you haven’t check on for some time, and you just saw that there’s a warning. Oh no.

Also, you had built this app using expo.

If the above two are true, this post is for you.

The warning on the Play Store Console

I promise I won’t waste your time.

The fix is simple.

First, ensure that you have expo-build-properties.

Then, specify the minSdkVersion to a value of 33 (since the warning says the minimum version should be 33).

Rebuild, re-release.

That’s it.

Happy building.
