This is a reminder that starting November 1, 2018, updates to apps and games on Google Play will be required to target Android Oreo (API level 26) or higher. After this date, the Play Console will prevent you from submitting new APKs with a targetSdkVersion less than 26.
Configuring your app to target a recent API level ensures that users benefit from significant security and performance improvements, while still allowing your app to run on older Android versions (down to the minSdkVersion).
Action required
Please ensure that your apps are configured to target at least Android 8.0 (API level 26) by November 1, 2018. For technical advice on how to change your app's target API level to meet these requirements, refer to the migration guide.
Affected apps
The apps included below have one or more APKs—in production or testing tracks—that aren't currently targeting API level 26 or higher. Apps are listed with the maximum version code and corresponding targetSdkVersion. If you have more than 20 apps that could be affected in your account, please check the Play Console for a full list.

Publish with a 1.25.x version. Hit generate. You're good to go!
I published wit 1.25.95 and it failed for both google and amazon.

@natclarke PM me the publishing link to your game (https://publish.gamesalad.com/games/xxxx) and I can take a look.
Hi @natclarke
I was able to export without problems, I still use version 1.25.80 to program and publish with 1.25.94...
But, respect to the target SDK, pleas read that:

Finally, I do not know if it could be your problem, but I'll comment on it in case: if your game does not use ADs, you can NOT have the PrivateDataConsentForAds variable created or your application will hang when opening on Android and Amazon
I have no ads. So what do I need to do to stop it from hanging?

@natclarke your game have the variable PrivateDataConsentForAds created? if yes, this is the problem that cause the hanging, delete that... if not, there is another problem
No private consent at all
