Previously, I was doing some Google Play homework to update my app’s target SDK to at least Android SDK 35.

I thought I was done, but then Google sent me another violation email stating that my app now requires a 16 KB page size.

Another year, another chore: upgrading the Android app target SDK. This year, Google requires Target SDK 35.

So, here’s my experience upgrading an existing Flutter Android app. There were a few issues, but every problem has a solution.

Note: At the time of writing this tutorial, I was using Flutter v3.10.6.

Set Target SDK to 35

First, update the Android target SDK version manually by editing the android/local.properties file:

-flutter.compileSdkVersion=34
+flutter.compileSdkVersion=35
-flutter.targetSdkVersion=34
+flutter.targetSdkVersion=35
 flutter.minSdkVersion=21

Removing Full-Screen Intent Permission from Flutter Android

Today I’m trying to submit a new version of the Flutter Android app to Google Play Store. I didn’t put any new features, just some bug fixes. I didn’t even change the dependencies. Normally no issue whatsoever when I send it to the Google Play Store.

But, something unexpected happened. I got an error message from the Play Store with the following message.

Your app uses the USE_FULL_SCREEN_INTENT permission. From May 31, 2024, some apps may no longer be eligible to have this permission pre-granted at install. Apps that aren’t eligible or approved for this, must request permission from the user to launch an activity with full-screen intent. If the permission isn’t granted and you don’t check for this, your app will crash when full-screen intent is being used.
