I have an android app which uses in-app-updates. After targeting android 14 (API 34) the app will not start due to this error:

I have not seen any explanation on how to set those settings.

Should there be some additonal parameters in the manifest.xml which isn't properly documented yet ?
The current version of Play In-App Updates Library you're using (1.10.3) doesn't support Android 14. You must upgrade it to version 2.1.0 that supports the new Android OS.
