WARNING: We recommend using a newer Android Gradle plugin to use compileSdk = 34

Unity Engine

Hello, Google has declared new requirement for all the apps and they told to change android target api level to 34. So,I recently updated my Android SDK API level from 33 to 34. When I try to build the Android AAB file for Google Play, I encounter the following errors.
Note: Unity editor version 2023.2.5f1

Errors:

Getting the same issue with 2022.3.36f1 LTS. The deadline is approaching very fast and we’re all working on doing this upgrade.

WARNING:We recommend using a newer Android Gradle plugin to use compileSdk = 34

This Android Gradle plugin (7.1.2) was tested up to compileSdk = 32

The build will continue, but you are strongly encouraged to update your project to

use a newer Android Gradle Plugin that has been tested with compileSdk = 34

As per new updates in unity documentation, 2022.3.37+ seems to be with >= 7.2 Android gradle plugin version which should fix the issue. It may be out sometime soon and could be in dev.

Check here for the reason why you get this warning and note that its harmless.

Hi, I solved the issue by using your editor version 2022.3.36f1. My projects were originally made using 2023.2.5f1, and then I migrated to 2022.3.36f1. I successfully created the AAB file targeting SDK 34 from one of my projects. However, my older projects are still causing problems, and I can’t create AAB files from them. These projects are likely very old, and many dependencies seem incompatible with the 2022 version, making them outdated. I don’t know what to do

5

So, we have to wait for that? Please let us know when they are completed

6

I see the warning harmless. So thats not something you need to worry at the moment. If you get any error, it could be for some other reason.

Oh
