Cordova-android platform and Google Play's target API level 33 update

I am developing a Sencha ExtJS application which have Android app version. I faced the problem to have to support Google Play target API level 33. Now the Cordova CLI is v10, Cordova-android platform is version 9, and the targetSdkVersion is 31. Can i only change targetSdkVersion, or have to update Cordova, Cordova-android platform to v11 or v12? In that case wouldn't I have to change the version of Cordova or Node.js as well? I would be grateful if someone could share what the versions of the whole stack are - node.js, cordova, cordova-android, gradle, etc. Тhanks in advance :)

Even though Cordova's official requirement for the targetSdkVersion: 33 (Android API-Level) is cordova-android Version: 12.0.x,

I was able to upgrade the targetSdkVersion and compileSdkVersion from 31 to 33 without any issues. My Cordova CLI is v10.1 and the Cordova-android platform is version 9.1.0.

I tested my application and it works really well. I pushed the update to the Play Store as well.

Thank You.
