Device type

Pixel 9 pro api 30

Versions

One of the reasons this is happening is because the App uses features only available for API 33 and above. We would have to give else conditions for Versions other TIRAMISU in the program for such features.

No , if you want to contribute go on

[MahmoudMabrok]

@angrezichatterbox I think you can start checking issue when it is possible to you.

[andrewtavis]

Thanks for the discussion here, both of you! Please let us know if we can help somehow, @MahmoudMabrok :)

[angrezichatterbox]

Hey @MahmoudMabrok , I hope you're doing well. Just checking in to see if you are still working on the issue. Happy to help in case you're facing any issues.

[MahmoudMabrok]

@angrezichatterbox I did not able to check it. if anyone can , please can he go.

[Akshaykomar890]

@angrezichatterbox Can I give a try ?

[angrezichatterbox]

@angrezichatterbox Can I give a try ?

Yes Feel free to try out this issue :)

[Akshaykomar890]

@angrezichatterbox Sir, I checked my device's API, and it's 30. This is causing the error, but I can't come up with an idea on how to fix it. Can you suggest a way to resolve it ?

It would look into it and get back to you :) . In the meantime, you are welcome to check the other issue using a simulator. Also, in this community, you are more than welcome to call me by my name rather than using sir 😄

[andrewtavis]

@MahmoudMabrok, given that others are having issues working with lower APIs, would you be able to give some suggestions here or potentially open a PR if the change is not too involved? :) Any help would be appreciated! 😊

[linreal]

@andrewtavis I'll take it, if you don't mind.

[andrewtavis]

Assigned, @linreal! And seeing the PR as well 😊 Totally amazing and looking forward to the review! :)

[andrewtavis]

Closed by #402 🚀 Amazing to have this finalized! Thanks for the quick work, @linreal 😊

@angrezichatterbox and all: Do we need to factor in API <31 into testing in the future, or was this kind of a one off for this particular issue? What are the normal practices for testing across multiple APIs?
