Same for me.

I installed Processing version 4.5.2, Android Mode version 4.6.1 automatically, but unfortunatly it doesn’t work.

When I launch the “Run on device” command I get errors such as:

A newer Android Gradle plugin is recommended. The installed Android Gradle Plugin (7.1.0) was tested up to compileSdk = 32

Sdk version android-33 is expected where android-33-ext5 is installed.

Can anybody explain the way to proceed?

Thanks a lot.

Patrick
