Target SDK Updated to Android 14
Version 1.8.7 of PlayTube & VideoTube updates the target SDK to 36, aligning the app with Android 14+ requirements. The update also fixes several unspecified issues.
Performance and Stability for Newer Android Versions
The SDK 36 update ensures compatibility with the latest Android permissions and security models. This change directly affects how the app handles background playback and floating popup mode on devices running Android 14 and above.
No Track Caching by Design
The app does not provide caching of any tracks, in compliance with the Tube API Terms of Use. This remains a fundamental limitation: all video and music streams are fetched on-demand without local storage.
