 {{{
 Your app currently targets API level 23 and must target at least API level
 26
 to ensure it is built on the latest APIs optimized for security and
 performance.
 Change your app's target API level to at least 26.
 }}}

 We missed the cut-off for the <26 requirement:

 {{{
 Google Play will require that new apps target at least Android 8.0 (API
 level
 26) from August 1, 2018, and that app updates target Android 8.0 from
 November
 1, 2018.
