We help outdated Android apps stay compliant, modernized, and publishable on Google Play.
Stop risking Play Console blocks and update failures. Recover apps built on old SDKs, obsolete Gradle setups, and unsupported libraries with a focused modernization plan for Android 13, 14, and 15 readiness.
Google Play requires recent target SDKs for every new update. Older apps are blocked from publishing and may lose compatibility guarantees.
Obsolete Gradle, Android Gradle Plugin, and dependency versions create brittle builds and hidden runtime risks.
Legacy apps often miss Play Integrity, security patching, and modern Android policy controls — increasing rejection and exposure.
Problem
Old Android codebases become costly and high-risk over time. We solve the specific technical debt that prevents publishability, compatibility, and maintainability.
Google Play now enforces newer Android target SDK levels for updates and new installs. Apps targeting old API levels can no longer publish and may be removed from the store.
Android compatibility and Play policy requirements change fast. Old apps often break on modern devices, fail privacy/security checks, or warn in Play Console.
Outdated Gradle, AGP, and dependency graphs make maintenance unpredictable. Conflicts, unsupported libraries, and plugin mismatches delay every release.
Abandoned apps become technical liabilities. Without a specialist partner, fixes accumulate, costs rise, and businesses lose the ability to deliver updates.
