Request for SDK Exception - Android SDK 34 Requirement for App Submission

Hello Meta Support Team, I am currently developing a VR application for the Meta Quest platform and have encountered an issue with the Android SDK requirements during the app submission process. My project is using several critical dependencies that require Android SDK 34 or higher, and I’m facing the following problem when trying to meet Meta’s requirement for Android SDK 32 or lower: Dependencies Requiring SDK 34 or Higher: shared_preferences_android sqflite cloud_firestore firebase_auth firebase_core firebase_crashlytics firebase_messaging flutter_local_notifications geolocator_android google_sign_in_android video_player_android vr_player (requires SDK 33 or higher) All of these dependencies are crucial for the functionality of my app, and downgrading to earlier versions would result in the loss of essential features such as video playback, cloud integration, geolocation, notifications, and VR playback support. Specifically, the vr_player package that I am using (version 0.2.2) requires SDK 33 or higher due to certain observer events (onStateChange, onDurationChange, etc.) that are not supported in earlier versions. Attempting to downgrade any of these packages would break significant portions of my app, affecting stability, performance, and user experience. Moreover, these packages have features that are critical for delivering the intended functionality and immersive experience in a VR environment on Meta Quest. Given that the latest Android SDK (34) is necessary for maintaining the stability and performance of my app, I am kindly requesting an exception to allow the use of Android SDK 34 for my submission. I understand the importance of adhering to platform requirements, but this SDK is essential for ensuring that my app functions properly with all the required dependencies. If there is any process for requesting an exception or an alternative solution that would enable me to keep these features while still adhering to your platform guidelines, I would greatly appreciate your guidance. Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to your response and hope we can find a solution to this issue. Best regards, Vikram
