Reads your AndroidManifest.xml and app/build.gradle and tells you what breaks when you raise targetSdk to 36 before Google Play's 31 August 2026 deadline. Date-aware. Runs offline. Runs entirely in your browser — nothing is uploaded.
Same engine as the VS Code extension, byte for byte.
Sweep every AndroidManifest.xml and build.gradle in the workspace in one pass and write a dated targetSdk36-report.md you own and can attach to the release ticket — a different axis: scope across modules, plus a file that leaves the editor.
One payment, one licence key for this tool. The key is shown right after payment.
A contract Android developer at the common US freelance rate of $50-100/hour bills more for one afternoon of manifest review than this costs once.
Buy the full version — $29It reads an AndroidManifest.xml and an app/build.gradle and reports what breaks when targetSdk goes to 36. Seventeen rules cover the Gradle side (targetSdk, compileSdk, Android Gradle Plugin, Billing Library, NDK, jniLibs packaging) and the manifest side (edge-to-edge opt-out, orientation and resizability locks, android:exported, foreground service types, Play-declared permissions). Each finding carries the line and the fix.
React Native, Flutter and Capacitor developers, who edit the Android manifest and Gradle files in VS Code rather than Android Studio, and native Android developers maintaining a multi-module app. It is aimed at whoever has to answer why the upload was refused, or whoever is planning the API 36 bump before the Play Console extension window closes on 1 November 2026.
Target API levels move every August and models answer from training data, so a chatbot will often name API 34 or 35 as current and describe the edge-to-edge opt-out flag as a working escape hatch, which it is not at API 36. This runs the rules against your own file, offline, and counts the days from a date you set rather than from whenever the model was trained.
Checking the file that is open in your editor is free, forever, with every one of the 17 rules and no key. The same engine also runs free in your browser. The licence adds a different job: sweeping every manifest and Gradle file in the workspace in one pass and writing a dated report file you keep, which is what a multi-module React Native or Flutter repo actually needs.
A contract Android developer at the common US freelance rate of $50-100/hour bills more for one afternoon of reading manifests than the licence costs once, and that is for a single pass. The rules here are re-run on every branch. The licence is $29, paid once and one key per person or team seat.
