I got a mail from the play store that Update your target API level by August 31, 2023 to release updates to your app.
and this is the warning message :
Update your target API level by 31 August 2023 to release updates to your app:
We've detected that your app is targeting an old version of Android. To provide users with a safe and secure experience, Google Play requires all apps to meet target API level requirements.
From 31 August 2023, if your target API level is not within one year of the latest Android release, you won't be able to update your app.
To continue making updates to your app, ensure your app targets Android 13 (API level 33).
My app targetSdkVersion is 31 and this warning says that it doesn't necessary to update 33 your targetSdkVersion if your targetSdkVersion is 31.
it says "when you update your app , you must target api 33 or above"
so I can leave my app targetSdkVersion at 31, but if I want to update it in the future, does the targetSdkVersion have to be 33 right? In this case, I still need to increase my targetSdkVersion from 31 to 33. I just want to ensure that.

Yes, when you want to update your app in the future then the targetSdkVersion must be greater or equal to 33.
