what is minimum SDK for Android? #1234

sorry if this is an ignorant question but I couldn't find this in the documentation

I have been testing the package on Android 34 but then I tried to run it on Android 27 in a simulator and when the camera activates - it goes haywire.

The minimum is 21, which is also the minimum required version for CameraX and Flutter itself.

What are you seeing on the emulator? Since the emulators do not have a camera, they provide a fake preview (the scene with the wood furniture and chessboard wall art). Is your emulator itself throwing errors?

On 27, I am not sure what happens exactly, but it seems it goes into an infinite loop of opening and closing the camera simulator. The screen flickers and the application force closes after a while. I have made sure I "cold reboot" the emulator.

If that is the case in terms of API (being 21) I can try to create a new emulator and see if the issue is still there.

Thanks for getting back to me on this. Appreciate it.
