I created the signed APK in C3. When I go to upload it to Google I get the following error:

"You uploaded an APK or Android App Bundle signed with a certificate that expires too soon. You need to sign your APK or Android App Bundle with a certificate that expires farther into the future."

I don't see any place in C3 that lets me put an expiration date. The 'Validity years' is set to 10, but I don't think that's what they're looking for.

It is what they're looking for, set validity to 100

Yeah, not sure why C3's default setting is 10 years when Google recommends a minimum of 25 years. That is an editable field, btw. You can change it. However, the team should probably change that so there's no more confusion.

I do highly suggest that people should read the official documentation when making android apps, where it clearly states the minimum is 25 years.

I entered an improvement suggestion so hopefully it can be changed to avoid any more users receiving this error : github.com/Scirra/Construct-3-bugs/issues/3956

This looks like it can pass as a bug, since the requirement update wasn't pushed into the C3 Build Service.
