I want to move my existing Ionic / community management app from targeting Android 14 (API 34) to Android 15 or higher (API 35) so it stays compliant with upcoming Google Play requirements. The codebase is already stable in production; I’m not looking for any visual or UX changes—just the behind-the-scenes work needed for the new target SDK. You’ll be working with a repository that has only minimal internal documentation, so I’ll rely on your experience with Ionic, Gradle, and the Android build toolchain to spot everything that needs attention—deprecated permissions, updated manifest entries, library bumps, new Google Play policies, and any small code fixes that pop up when the compiler tightens the rules. Please ensure the following are in place before we wrap up: • Codebase updated to targetSdkVersion 35 and compiled cleanly with the latest stable Android toolchain • All Capacitor and Cordova plugins verified (or upgraded/replaced) for compatibility with API 35 • A signed AAB that installs and runs without warnings on a physical Android 15 emulator/device • Brief upgrade notes explaining each key change so future maintenance is straightforward If you’ve already taken Ionic apps through similar jumps, that’s exactly the experience I’m after. Let me know your timeline and any clarifications you need, and I’ll share repo access so we can get started right away.

Hi, I can see the real pain point here: one overlooked Android 15 compatibility issue can break a stable Ionic app that already works in production. I’ve handled Ionic and Capacitor upgrade work where the goal is exactly this kind of behind-the-scenes SDK jump, clean build, plugin compatibility, manifest updates, and a signed release that behaves correctly on modern devices. I’ll review the Gradle and Android toolchain, verify each Cordova/Capacitor plugin against API 35, fix any deprecated permissions or build warnings, and produce an AAB that installs cleanly on Android 15. I’ve shared an initial estimate based on your description, and once we go over a few technical or functional details, I’ll confirm the exact cost and delivery schedule. I’ll also document the key changes so future maintenance stays simple. Which Capacitor and Cordova plugins are currently installed in the app, and do you already have a target Android 15 device or emulator for final verification? Best regards, Asad

Hi, I understand you're looking to upgrade an existing Ionic app to target Android 15 (API 35) without changing its current functionality or user experience. The biggest challenge in these upgrades is usually plugin compatibility, Gradle/build configuration changes, and handling undocumented dependencies without introducing regressions. I can help by reviewing the existing Ionic, Capacitor/Cordova, and Android build setup, then updating the project to comply with the latest Google Play requirements. This includes: * Updating targetSdkVersion 35 and Android build configurations * Verifying and upgrading Capacitor/Cordova plugins for API 35 compatibility * Resolving Gradle, manifest, and permission-related issues * Building and testing the signed AAB on Android 15 * Providing brief upgrade notes for future maintenance I'm comfortable working with existing codebases that have minimal documentation and systematically identifying compatibility issues before making changes. My focus will be on delivering a clean, production-ready upgrade with minimal impact on the current application. I'd be happy to review the repository and provide an upgrade plan and timeline once I inspect the current Ionic and plugin versions. Thanks, Abhishek

Sincerely Inspirational , I’ll upgrade your Ionic app’s Android target to API 35+ with zero UX/visual changes. I’ll audit the repo for everything that typically breaks or warns during targetSdk jumps: manifest/permission updates, Gradle + Android tooling compatibility, plugin behavior changes, and any compiler tightening that surfaces newly-deprecated APIs. Work included: • Update targetSdkVersion to 35 and ensure a clean build with the latest stable Android toolchain • Verify every Capacitor/Cordova plugin for API 35 compatibility; upgrade/replace only when required • Produce a signed AAB and validate install + runtime on an Android 15 emulator/device • Compile-time and packaging checks to eliminate common Play-blocking warnings • Concise upgrade notes mapping key changes to future maintenance You’ll get a stable, compliant release focused purely on behind-the-scenes platform requirements.

I’ve upgraded Ionic and Capacitor apps through targetSdk lifts three times in the past year—API 31 to 33 and 34 to 35 included. The critical step is chasing down every plugin: one outdated Cordova plugin breaks the clean build, especially around storage or push notifications. What I do: update targetSdkVersion to 35, refactor any permissions breaking under the tighter manifest, check all plugins for API 35 support, and update Gradle/build tools as needed. I’ll build and sign an AAB on the final toolchain, test on an Android 15 device, and hand you structured notes on every change. Which plugins or native modules cause the most hassle in your past builds? That often predicts where upgrades fail. Share repo access and I’ll start this week if the codebase is ready. Pradeep

Hi, I'd handle this by bumping the target SDK to 35 while aligning Gradle and Capacitor plugins with the latest stable versions. The main risk is missing deprecated permissions or subtle manifest changes that only surface at compile time, so I'll run through each plugin’s changelog and test on an Android 15 emulator early. I’ve done this jump twice before on Ionic apps: once where a single permission was quietly removed in API 34, and another where a Cordova plugin needed a patch release for API 35 compatibility. In both cases, the builds compiled cleanly after those tweaks, though I did need to double-check the merged manifest for conflicts. I’ll isolate each change in its own commit so you can review the diffs, keep the existing build untouched until the new one passes on device, and leave you with upgrade notes that list every file touched and why. This keeps the app compliant without touching UX, avoids surprises during Google Play review, and gives you clear documentation for future updates. If the scope and timeline feel right, I can start immediately after repo access is shared. Thanks, Denis.
