I am looking to update my targetSDK version to Level 31, as per a warning I saw on the Google Play Store. But my Visual Studio warns that I don't have it installed. So I went to the Tools tab in SDK Manager and installed Android SDK Build-Tools 31 (31.0.0). However, Android 12 (Level 31) still does not show in the SDK manager to install.

What could I be missing? I tried searching on this and they mentioned updating the build tools which I did. I also looked at Android documentation, but they talk about using Android Studio (for native Android), not Visual Studio for Xamarin.Android.

This is for a Xamarin.Android project. I am on Visual Studio Professional 2019 version 16.9.6 if it matters.

The easiest way is upgrading the Visual Studio to the version 2022, because the Android Api Level 31 has a dependency on JDK 11, which has some compatibility issues with Visual Studio 2019.

But if you really want to use Visual Studio 2019, you can check this link and install the JDK 11 follow up it.

Now the newest Android Api Level is 33, and it can be used in the Visual Studio 2022 newest version. So I really suggest you update the Visual Studio.
