Target Android API level 26 required by google

[Josias Thöny]

Hi,

Google has announced that "In the second half of 2018, Play will require that new apps and app updates target a recent Android API level. This will be required for new apps in August 2018, and for updates to existing apps in November 2018. This is to ensure apps are built on the latest APIs optimized for security and performance. [...] November 2018: Updates to existing apps required to target API level 26 or higher."
See https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2017/12/improving-app-security-and-performance.html  for the full explanation.

K9 is currently using targetSdkVersion 22. In API level 26, some things have changed regarding background execution, see https://developer.android.com/about/versions/oreo/background.html
I think that the MailService and especially the PollService and PushService must be adapted to the new requirements.

My question is, are there any plans to get K9 working with targetSdkVersion 26?

Thanks and best regards,
Josias

Take a look here (API 27) and here (materialization).

Cheers!
