Minimum required Android version

Open phil294 opened this issue 5 years ago • 1 comments

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. Hello, what is the minimum required version of Android? I was surprised that GPlay did not let me install this app on my Android 4.4.2 device, which – other than that – still works very nicely and only rarely rejects to install apps. Not all apps built with flutter reject on play store, e.g. Alibaba and Google Ads, so it may be a configuration thing?

Describe the solution you'd like Install this app, supporting earlier versions too

Describe alternatives you've considered Are there even any alternatives for me besides simply not using coi at all?

Thanks.

Hi, thanks for your report. The problem is based on some Flutter plugins we use to ensure e.g. recording audio messages works without problems. In general we would really like to support Android 4.4 (API level 19) and upwards but currently this would lead to problems with some of the current features. But we are always investigating if a lower minimum required version is possible. I will have a look through our dependency tree if there is a way to get down to 19 again (it was our min requirement some months ago.). Currently there are sadly no alternatives to get / use the app, I think :(.
