Minimum SDK version - it wants 23 not 16

I was trying to get my own project working and hitting issues - so thought I’d try the example in the git repo.

The only way I could get it to work was by changing the minSdkVersion from 16 to 23.

I see that #13 appears to be the same issue but is marked as closed.

Could it be that there’s a regression between 2.30 and 2.4.4?

Obviously changing this setting in my project has fixed it but wondered whether it was just my environment or whether updating the example is now required.

cheers,

The issue is not fixed, the manifest does not have uses-sdk line, only after I add both this <uses-sdk tools:overrideLibrary="androidx.security" /> in react-native-encrypted-storage Manifest

and multiDexEnabled true (in app build.gradle defaultConfig) implementation ‘androidx.multidex:multidex:2.0.1’ (in app build.gradle)

it works

Hi! Thanks for reporting, I just checked and indeed, you need to add a special anotation to the root tag of your AndroidManifest.xml:

<!--
    Overrides warning about AndroidX Security package only running on API 23+
    There is a runtime check to make sure that this API is not accessed below API 23
-->
<uses-sdk tools:overrideLibrary="androidx.security" />

There is a runtime check in this library making sure to use the normal SharedPreferences when on API 23 or lower. I will add this to the docs, unfortunately I could not find a better way to handle this.
