Android 14 Emulator Available on Linux Machines

[helinanever]

Hello,

Linux machines on Codemagic now include the Android 14 (API level 34) emulator, helping you align with the latest Android standards. As a reminder, starting August 31, 2024, all new apps and updates submitted to Google Play will need to target API level 34.

What changed?

• New Android Emulator: Android 14 (API level 34) emulator is installed on Linux machines.
• Existing Emulator as default: The current Android 11 (API level 30) emulator will remain the default, so no breaking changes are expected in your workflows. Flutter workflow editor builds will continue to use this version of the emulator for now.

How to access the new emulator in codemagic.yaml

To use the new Android 14 (API level 34) emulator in codemagic.yaml, specify the emulator in the launch command by referencing it as emulator-34.

If you omit the -34 suffix, the default Android 11 (API level 30) emulator will launch.

This update will keep you current with Google Play requirements while ensuring compatibility with your existing setups. For questions or assistance, please feel free to reach out.

Best,
Team Codemagic
