Google Play to select a version of a multi-APK app that’s designed for lower
Vulkan support on devices with higher version support. Currently, the Google
Play Store does not accept uploads of Apps which use Vulkan version
targeting. This support will be added to the Google Play Store in the
future and fixed in the next version of Google Play services (to be included
in a later Developer Preview release) any Android N devices using the
version of Google Play services 9.0.83 will continue to receive versions

<h3 id="upgrade-notes">Notes on publishing apps that target API 24</h3>
<p>
Before publishing apps that target API 24 in Google Play, keep these points
in mind:
</p>
<ul>
<li>If your app’s current <code>targetSdkVersion</code> is 22 or lower and
you want to target API 24, you’ll need to support <a href=
"{@docRoot}about/versions/marshmallow/android-6.0-changes.html">behaviors
introduced with Android 6.0 (Marshmallow)</a>, such as <a href=
"{@docRoot}training/permissions/requesting.html">runtime permissions</a>, in
addition to Android N behaviors.
</li>
<li>Once you publish an app with <code>targetSdkVersion</code> set to 23 or
higher, you can't later publish a version of the app with a higher
<code>versionCode</code> that targets 22 or lower. This restriction applies
in alpha and beta channels as well as production channel.
