Fire HD tablet - FireOS #10

Massively dumb question - but I want to re-purpose one of my Fire HD tablets as a Vinyl-Cast machine. I'm getting a parsing error when installing the apk on a Fire HD 8 (Fire OS 5.6.4.0) and also a Fire HD 7 with Android 5.1.1. What's the minimum Android requirements for the 1.0.0 release?

I'm getting the same issue with an old Samsung tablet. The app loads, but crashes when you hit play.

@phakeEHS Never a dumb question :)

v1.0.0 supports Android 6.0+ (API Level 23) and v1.1.0 which was just posted supports Android 7.1+ (API Level 25). I went and added a comment in the README about minimum Android version needed.

I'm not able to easily test on earlier Android versions and given my experience working with the Android audio APIs, I don't want to enable support for earlier versions without testing. But if you're still interested, I could make an app build that targets earlier Android versions and you could test it out.

Note that as of v1.2.0, the minimum Android level was changed back to Android 6.0 (API Level 23).

Closing issue for now due to inactivity and can reopen if necessary.
