After adding livechat dependency to our build.gradle (complie 'com.github.livechat:chat-window-android:v2.0.3') :processDebugManifest/:processReleaseManifest started to fail with Error: uses-sdk:minSdkVersion 15 cannot be smaller than version 16 declared in library [com.github.livechat:chat-window-android:v2.0.3] ~/.gradle/caches/transforms-1/files-1.1/chat-window-android-v2.0.3.aar/3b80e858f133c212ad12e862783ecfc4/AndroidManifest.xml as the library might be using APIs not available in 15

Our android app still supports minSdkVersion 15 While livechat's app/build.gradle declares minSdkVersion 16

1) Actually we can override minSdk while merging your AndroidManifest.xml with:

<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="15"
        tools:overrideLibrary="com.livechatinc.inappchat"
        />

and show livechat button only for "Build.VERSION.SDK_INT>=16" devices

or 2) Decrease your minSdkVersion to 15 (if api 16's features are not so important for you)

Hey @int021h . I think we can decrease min sdk version to 15. This should be included in the upcoming widget update.
