Unable to adjust minSdkVersion so I cannot use libraries that are dependent on a specific Android version

payminty-shaun commented 9 months ago

Has your issue been reported?

[X] I have searched the existing issues and confirm it has not been reported.
[X] I give permission for members of the FlutterFlow team to access and test my project for the sole purpose of investigating this issue.

Current Behavior

I receive this error message during my Android builds:

/Users/builder/clone/android/app/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml Error: uses-sdk:minSdkVersion 21 cannot be smaller than version 26 declared in library [:mek_stripe_terminal] /Users/builder/clone/build/mek_stripe_terminal/intermediates/merged_manifest/release/AndroidManifest.xml as the library might be using APIs not available in 21 Suggestion: use a compatible library with a minSdk of at most 21, or increase this project's minSdk version to at least 26, or use tools:overrideLibrary="mek.stripeterminal" to force usage (may lead to runtime failures)

FAILURE: Build failed with an exception.

Expected Behavior

If I build this locally with minSdkVersion, then the build works perfectly. I would however like to use the built in FlutterFlow deployment process as I am paying for a Teams license.

Steps to Reproduce

Install a dependency that requires a minSdkVersion, in my case this is this dependency: https://pub.dev/packages/mek_stripe_terminal
Try to perform a deployment to the Google Play store
Build process fails with the above error.

Reproducible from Blank

[X] The steps to reproduce above start from a blank project.

Context

I need this dependency for my application and this issue is preventing me from using the build/deploy process in FlutterFlow for Android. As a result, I am having to sync my project with GitHub and perform my builds locally which is more inefficient.

Hi @hariprasadms / @agreaves, can I please get an update on this issue to keep it open please?

This issue is directly impacting me, and adding the option to edit the minSdkVersion would help me a lot thank you and I don't believe would add much risk to your product.

Thanks!

Hi @payminty-shaun - Thanks for submitting the issue. At this stage, android SDK version not able to change inside editor. There is a work around that pushing the code to git repository and modify the bit of code you required and deploy from outside to stores. However, you can create a feature request under help section, so that the request goes to correct channel and team consider for next steps. I hope this can help you. Thanks
