Elissa-AppDevforAll edited this page Mar 3, 2026 · 3 revisions

Code on the Go has upgraded from Android SDK 33 to SDK 36. To prevent build failures in offline projects, you must update your SDK using one of two methods:

  • Automatic Update: Disable the --offline flag and rebuild your project. Code on the Go will automatically fetch and install SDK 36.
  • Manual Update: Follow the steps below to manually update the SDK version in your project’s build.gradle.kts file.

To manually update the SDK version in build.gradle.kts, follow these steps:

  1. At the top level of the project, open app/build.gradle.kts.
  2. Scroll or use the search feature to find the text compileSdk.
  3. Change the final character on the line to 6 so that the text says 36.
  4. Scroll or use the search feature to find the text targetSdk.
  5. Change the final character on the line to 6 so that the text says 36.
  6. Save your changes to the file.
  7. Follow the prompt to sync your changes.
