What happened?

Google has recently increased the recommended minimum SDK version for Android app development from 21 to 24. To stay up-to-date with these changes and ensure compatibility with the latest Android features and security updates, we should consider updating the minimum SDK version for our project.

This update will help us provide a better user experience and take advantage of the latest Android platform improvements. It's essential to keep our app aligned with industry standards and user expectations.

Let's discuss and plan the update to ensure a smooth transition while maintaining support for our existing user base.

Hi there! To address this issue, we need to update the minSdk version in the configureKotlinAndroid function in the build.gradle.kts file. Currently, the minSdk is set to 21, but Google has recently increased the minimum required SDK version to 24.

To make this change, locate the defaultConfig block within the configureKotlinAndroid function and update the minSdk value from 21 to 24. Here's the modified code snippet:

defaultConfig {
    minSdk = 24
}

Once this change is made, the project will be aligned with the updated Android SDK requirements.
