Why minSdkVersion is 21? #280

Open emanuelb opened 4 years ago

emanuelb commented 4 years ago

The minSdkVersion is 21, so the app won't work on android version < 5. There was people complaining on the app won't work on older devices (heard at news), what the reason it's set for 21? From react-native documentation: https://github.com/facebook/react-native#-requirements

React Native apps may target iOS 10.0 and Android 4.1 (API 16) or newer.

Which component / tasks require the increased minSdkVersion?
