Google says that starting in August 2018 all new apps submitted will charge to ambition Android Oreo, and in November 2018 updates to absolute apps will charge to do the same. In addition, starting aboriginal in 2018 there will be some added metadata added to the app book (the .apk file) to verify it's actuality and in August 2019 all apps will be appropriate to accommodate a 64-bit adaptation alike if they ambition any built-in Android libraries.

Additionally, in aboriginal 2018, Play will alpha abacus a baby bulk of aegis metadata on top of anniversary APK to added verify app authenticity. You do not charge to booty any activity for this change.

Right now, a developer can upload an app targeted appear an old adaptation of Android and not ask for permission to see things like camera abstracts or area back you aboriginal run it because those became official with Android Marshmallow (API 23). Abacus metadata to use as a analysis for actuality makes faculty actuality because that can be acclimated to abstracted apps that were downloaded from Google Play from added sources for installations (as able-bodied as be acclimated for archetype aegis if Google capital to do so), and acute 64-bit versions of apps is accepting things accessible for appliance processors that don't abutment 32-bit binaries.
A ancillary aftereffect of these changes will affect how manufacturers amend accessories as able-bodied as the convenance of affairs new accessories with earlier versions of Android.
Next August, all new apps submitted to Google Play will accept to be targeted for Android Oreo. In November, updates for absolute apps will additionally charge to be targeted for Oreo. These requirements will beforehand anniversary year so apps in August 2019 will charge to ambition the abutting adaptation of Android. Anniversary year the aforementioned affair happens and new apps or updates to absolute apps won't be accustomed unless they ambition a contempo version.

Existing apps that don't get adapted will be accustomed to stay, and the development accoutrement will still acquiesce the conception of apps targeted for old versions. But Google Play won't. Apps advised for old software don't accomplish use of Android's newer appearance and are beneath defended because of it.
When your buzz can't run the app you appetite because the software is old, you'll notice.
As a result, companies who advertise phones with old versions or balloon about those phones back it comes time to amend them will angle out because the articles won't accept admission to new or anew adapted apps. Google says they animate developers to do what they can to accomplish apps astern compatible, but we all apperceive how things go back they're alone appropriate or encouraged. Look at the accompaniment of book apps on Google Play as an archetype here. These changes will finer shut out phones with old versions back it comes to the newest apps.

We apprehend to apprehend affluence added about these new behavior afore they go into aftereffect and accept some questions about how the new "authenticity" metadata will be acclimated to get answered. But we like the abstraction of Google accomplishing what it can back it comes to befitting our abstracts safer and the apps that appetite to use it in analysis a little better.
