Description

*Summary:* When building for Android, Titanium should target API Level 29 (aka: Android 10.0) by default if installed under the Android SDK. Titanium currently targets up to API Level 28 (aka: Android 9.0). *Note:* Titanium currently does not target API Level 29 by default. This is a safety precaution until Titanium addresses all of Android Q's breaking changes. But a developer can opt-in to targeting the newest API Level (at their own risk) by adding the following to their "tiapp.xml" file. 
<ti:app>
	<android xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
		<manifest>
			<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="19" android:targetSdkVersion="29"/>
		</manifest>
	</android>
</ti:app>

    Is there a list of known issues when targeting Android Q? We'd like to adapt to it asap

    bq. Is there a list of known issues when targeting Android Q? Yes, of course. We've already written up "Release 8.3.0" tickets to address them. I suggest you wait until we've address them all. For your reference, Google documents the breaking-changes that occur when "targeting" Android Q here... https://developer.android.com/preview/behavior-changes-q In the meantime, I suggest that you stick to 8.1.x which "targets" Android P, but is also backward compatible with Android Q.

    FR passed. API level 29 is used as the default target.
