Application Project Version Configuration Recommendations
To ensure compatibility across devices with different system versions, you must correctly configure the SDK version dependencies for your application project.
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": "6.0.1(21)" | N/A | The 6.0.0(20) version 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": "5.0.5(17)" | |
| targetSdkVersion | Option 1 (recommended): Adapt to the latest changes and use "targetSdkVersion": "6.0.1(21)". Option 2: If adaptation is deferred, retain the pre-upgrade value. | 1. Example for option 1: "targetSdkVersion": "6.0.1(21)" 2. Example for option 2: "targetSdkVersion": "5.0.5(17)" | |
