Update Your SDK and App To Target Android API 29
Today, We rolled out quarterly updates to ensure your app supports Android API 29. Google play minimum API level requirement has recently been updated, and Android 11 has been rolled out by Google. All Apps in the google domain “Google Play” are expected to meet the minimum API level requirement by August 3rd, 2020. If you publish a new version of your app and your API still targets 28, your app will be rejected. Grace period set for updating the existing app to target the new minimum API Level is Nov 2nd, 2020.
Here is the newsletter from the Google Play team.

As you already know, our commitment to keeping your app updated from time to time remains firm. We have successfully carried out this update, and you can now publish the latest version of your apps on Google play or update an existing one. It is important to note that your app will no longer support Android KitKat 4.4.3 or below. OS is evolving every day, and of course, google expects every android user to be on at least 5.0 as there have been many security updates and patches since android 4.0.
As always, existing features and other bugs you have reported in the earlier version have also been fixed. See below for details.
