One or more of the APIs that you use or parameters that you set for edge-to-edge and window display have been deprecated in Android 15. Your app uses the following deprecated APIs or parameters:

Thanks for the report. We'll look into it

@gauravSharma2009 is this only a warning or is it the reason for rejection in play store?

Edit 1: I overlooked the link. No need for clarification.

Edit 2: Not true though. All other reports of this issue I see, state that this is only a warning, e.g. dotnet/maui#26788 (comment), not a reason for rejection. Therefore the initial question remains valid: is this only a warning or is it the reason for rejection in play store?

For my future reference:

1. Issue on RN 0.75.4 - Android 15 for StatusBarModule (EdgeToEdge) facebook/react-native#48256
2. Issue on Flutter Deprecated APIs use on Android 15 flutter/flutter#160328
3. Issue on dotnet Your app uses deprecated APIs or parameters for edge-to-edge (Android 15) dotnet/maui#26788
4. Temporary solution on RN side: Add suppression for deprecated setters and getters facebook/react-native#44676

[kkafar]

The roadmap for this issue is as follows:

1. We might apply the temporary solution from RN (linked above ☝)
2. At the same time I've marked all the responsible props as deprecated in feat(Android): deprecate series of status/navigation bar related props #2638 and they will be removed in future major (at least few months from now but this timeline is wild guess, no concrete plans exist yet)
