Migrate your existing app to target Android Oreo and above
summary
Google Play enforces targetSdkVersion 26 (new apps by Aug 2018, updates by Nov 2018). Migration specifics: add notification channels or notifications disappear; replace background services with scheduled work—recommend WorkManager (Play Store used JobScheduler + Firebase JobDispatcher before WorkManager existed). Play Store migration uses a foreground service for restore and it works; switching dispatcher instead of alarms yields a 2% lift on KitKat and adding exponential backoff yields a 19% improvement in background task success. Test non‑SDK API use.
