Closed DI555 closed 4 weeks ago

Please, add minSDK21, or at least minSDK22!!! We have a lot of Android_5 cute devices to work on them! Many thanks in advance!

That would prevent it from being installed on new android versions due to stupid policies. I guess multiple apks could be compiled?

DI555 commented 2 months ago

yes, if it means - another .apk in just "releases" with minSDK21 - would be great either!

realeatham commented 2 months ago

Hopefully if @sosauce considers this they make sure that every version since minimum the app supports will work (i.e. latest android allows sdk24 or above, so the other release would be the minsdk for whatever version is sdk23)

realeatham commented 2 months ago

Obviously at a point the functions used by the app will not be supported by an android version so that can be the minimum

sosauce commented 2 months ago

Hello, will try to add support ! But it may be impossible due to some limitations (i.e. some piece of code being able to be only executed on Android version x and up) but I can try to find an adjustement 😄

Quick update, after reading Android 15 documentation (It shouls be avaible in august so i'd rather focus on it than Android 14), it seems that its more the targetSDK that is needed to get bumped https://developer.android.com/about/versions/15/behavior-changes-all#minimum-target-api-level

I've bumped down minSDK to 21 and it runs fine on my Andorid 14 !
