@jayohms could you say what the minSdkVersion bump from 24 to 26 is required for? This drops support for Android 7, which is a breaking change.

jayohms commented 7 months ago

@sedubois Google is ending support for Chrome on Android 7 (and the system WebView), so this change corresponds to Google's decision. Android 7 was released in 2016 and the library hasn't bumped it's required minSdkVersion in 3 years, so it's long overdue.
