Correct version mappings allow for a smoother experience in application development.
Before reading the version updates and changes, ensure that the version mapping is consistent with the developer suite you are using.

To ensure compatibility across devices with different system versions, you must correctly configure the SDK version dependencies for your application project.
Applications developed using a beta development suite cannot be released to AppGallery. If you need to release your application, you are advised to use 5.0.5 (17) Release for development.
For applications developed with this version, the following configurations are recommended in the build-profile.json5 file.
| Configuration Item in build-profile.json5 | Existing Application | New Application | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Recommended Configuration | Configuration Example | ||
| compileSdkVersion | No explicit configuration is needed. By default, the matched SDK version is used during compilation, which is as follows: "compileSdkVersion": "5.1.1(19)" | N/A | 5.0.5 (17) Release is recommended for development. |
| compatibleSdkVersion | Whenever possible, maintain consistency with the compatibleSdkVersion used before project upgrade. | Same as that before the upgrade, for example: "compatibleSdkVersion": "5.0.0(12)" | |
| targetSdkVersion | Option 1 (recommended): Adapt to the latest changes and use "targetSdkVersion": "5.1.1(19)". Option 2: If adaptation is deferred, retain the pre-upgrade value. | 1. Example for option 1: "targetSdkVersion": "5.1.1(19)"
2. Example for option 2: "targetSdkVersion": "5.0.0(12)" | |
