The target API level is about the app, not the account you buy

Google requires apps to target a current API level. That requirement sits on the app build. Buying a personal, organization, fresh, or aged account does not set the target level and does not excuse an old build.

What to separate

Read the current Play requirement for the level. An aged account does not freeze an older requirement. A closed test of 12 testers for 14 days, where it applies, is also not a substitute for the API level. Guyi does not promise review.

Empty accounts

If there is no app, there is no target level in the handover. When you add an app later, the build has to meet the rule then in force.

Questions

Does a five-year account allow an old target API?

No. The level is a requirement on the app, read on Google's current page.

Is the API level one of the six handover fields?

No. The six fields are login, recovery, two-factor, the date or verification, apps, and members. The build is your later work.
