I know that Android 14 requires
targetSdkVersion
>= 23 (or higher on the Play Store), but are there other minimums for this andminSdkVersion
?
That’s for GooglePlay and the only mention of minimum requirements for
targetSdk
is for Android 14.Your app should target the latest SDK, i.e. Android 14 requires 34, not 23 (did you mean minSdkVersion perhaps)? I don’t think there are restrictions on minSdkVersion. Basically, quickly after a new Android OS is released, you need to target it.
I’ll make sure to tell that to my customers running Android 4.
Now, I’m confused even more. Android 4? Did you mean 14? TargetSdk doesn’t mean you support only that OS version, but that your app is built for that version. You can support whatever older versions you wish, there are no constraints.
Current min is 4 current target is 5, 14 requires target 6, guess i can start there.
The question was about enforced minimums throughout versions, i guess only 14 has that requirement.
