Some Android Studio Issues

[Jetheat]

Hi, I had a developer update an app for me and then he ran away. I'm a non techie trying to submit my app to the app store.

On the Console of Android Studio, when I try to generate a signed APK, it came up with some Lint Errors.

The html file shows this...

Correctness
2	error NamespaceTypo: Misspelled namespace declaration
77	error MissingDefaultResource: Missing Default
Compliance
1	error ExpiredTargetSdkVersion: TargetSdkVersion No Longer Supported

Any idea what I should check and where?

I don't really know how to use Android Studio.

Appreciate the help,

JH

The errors refer to the code - you';d have to look at the code to see why. What namespace are you declaring?

Based on those errors, you just need to update your Target SDK version, which is located in the build.gradle(Module: app) file. Just change the number shown below to something higher (such as 28). But be warned, that might cause a whole bunch of new issues from deprecated code. If you're not comfortable updating the deprecated sections of code, you could try changing the Target SDK version to the lowest value that does not return an error (probably 19 is the lowest you should go). Eventually you'll have to be able to overhaul the code to bring it up to modern Android standards, though, so you might need to track your developer down!
