Where can I complain about Google Store target API level restrictions : <p>Google recently announced that they are going to start restricting publishing Android apps that do not target recent API level versions.  I support this change, but I need some special case exceptions, and have not found an appropriate forum to request those.  I know that this is not it, but hope someone here can point me where I should go.</p>

<p>I publish an app that has been out for a long time and still has a significant number of users running it under Gingerbread.  It also uses a number of support libraries, and the recent versions of those libraries, the ones targeting the latest API levels, no longer support Gingerbread devices.  The end result is that I can not build and apk that supports API level 9 if it targets an SDK level greater than 23.  Which is not going to be accepted come November.</p>

<p>I did have a plan to address this issue.  That was to start distributing two apk files for each update.  One that targets the latest API level and has a min API of probably 21.  The other will support older devices and will have a target and max API of 20 and a min API of 9.  The problem is that the older target API apk will not be accepted by the Play Store unless I can convince someone that they should continue to accept any app where the target and max API levels are the same.</p>
