Library crashing in devices running KitKat

See original GitHub issue

According to the Readme:

Minimum SDK 19 (Android 4.4): A way to increase security is to cap older implementation. SDK 19 seems to be a good compromise where most of the older security hack fixes are not necessary anymore, but still targeting most devices.

But if you look into the build.gradle file, it declares:

minSdkVersion = 21

Are the docs not up to date? Or it is still safe to use the library with minSdkVersion = 19?

Thanks.
