This has been addressed in main branch already for the Capacitor 6 release.
Android 14 changes are not backported to Capacitor 5.

What about apps with Capacitor 5 running on newest Androids?

[jcesarmobile]

If you keep using targetSDK 33 apps work on 34 and newer devices and doesn't crash, if you want to targetSDK 34 you have to use Capacitor 6.

Ther is no pease of code where targetSdkVersion is defined as 34

[jcesarmobile]

Then it might not be the same problem, please, create an issue and provide a sample app that reproduces it.

I tested the share plugin on Capacitor 5 on Android 14 devices using targetSDK 33 and didn't hit any crashes, but I have might missed something.

[YanouonaY]

Hello,
I've got the same problem with Android 14 on Samsung A54 and Capacitor 5. In my variables.gradle i set:

• compileSdkVersion = 33
• targetSdkVersion = 33

I cannot deploy on this phone, BUT I can to deploy on Montorola G53 (Android 14)
