Apps targeting API level 37 must adapt to various display sizes and orientations, with manifest attributes like screenOrientation and maxAspectRatio being ignored. The post provides practical solutions for common issues including camera preview distortion (using CameraX or CameraViewfinder), stretched UI elements (using widthIn modifiers), inaccessible buttons (adding vertical scrolling), and state preservation during configuration changes. Google Play will require API level 37 targeting by August 2027. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
