  Vulkan support on devices with higher version support. Currently, the Google

  Play Store does not accept uploads of Apps which use Vulkan version

  targeting. This support will be added to the Google Play Store in the

  future and fixed in the next version of Google Play services (to be included

  in a later Developer Preview release) any Android N devices using the

<h3 id="upgrade-notes">Notes on publishing apps that target API 24</h3>



<p>

  Before publishing apps that target API 24 in Google Play, keep these points

  in mind:

</p>



<ul>

  <li>If your app’s current <code>targetSdkVersion</code> is 22 or lower and

  you want to target API 24, you’ll need to support <a href=

  "{@docRoot}about/versions/marshmallow/android-6.0-changes.html">behaviors

  introduced with Android 6.0 (Marshmallow)</a>, such as <a href=

  "{@docRoot}training/permissions/requesting.html">runtime permissions</a>, in

  addition to Android N behaviors.

  </li>



  <li>Once you publish an app with <code>targetSdkVersion</code> set to 23 or

  higher, you can't later publish a version of the app with a higher

  <code>versionCode</code> that targets 22 or lower. This restriction applies

  in alpha and beta channels as well as production channel.
