# api26
Ensures that the APK is built with `targetSdkVersion` at least 26.

## Will Fail If
* `targetSdkVersion` is less than 26.

## Exports
None.

## Reason
As of November 1, 2018 Google Play requires that all apps, and app updates, target Android 8 (API 26).

> Google Play will require that new apps target at least Android 8.0 (API level 26) from August 1, 2018, and that app updates target Android 8.0 from November 1, 2018.
