Set a reasonable min supported Android version #14014
Description
Problem
We currently support Android devices as far back as Android 5.0. This is very old and requires that we support devices used by less than <1% of our users. This requires additional support for old versions, and sometimes requires that we implement specific code to handle old and new/Android versions differently.
Solution
Set a reasonably valid supported Android version, based on the current amount of users on lower Android versions. Perhaps Android 7 is a good starting point.

Thanks, Android 7.0 (SDK 23) seems reasonable 👍

We have discussing SDK 23 as a reasonable minimum here

I'd say 23 is definitely reasonable.
Julesssss commentedon Feb 28, 2024
No current need to bump the min version.
mrousavy commentedon Feb 29, 2024
Yup, VisionCamera V4 will work on minSdk 21
Julesssss commentedon Apr 5, 2024
No need for this bump yet

Closing, we'll create a new issue for discussion when we actually need to make a bump
