Stuck on an issue?

What version of the minSdk in the end?

See original GitHub issue

Starting from v1.3 the documentation says the min is 23:

For your app to work on a device, the device must be running Android version 6.0 (API version 23) or higher

But after a few updates in this repo to v1.3 and higher it still uses 21 as the minSdk. Is this a mistake in the documentation or here?

Thank you

Unfortunately it seems to be impossible to actually test this unless you are a whitelisted developer, which I am sadly not.

I’m a bit surprised that Google doesn’t answer questions here. Wouldn’t it help all the developers around the world trying to implement their versions?

Well, their reference app works with EN and it still uses minSdk 21 so we could say it works for API 21 😃
