The plugin 2.0.0-dev will not load on Android 6.0 and below. about cordova-plugin-file-transfer HOT 2 CLOSED

What is the minimum supported Android version?

Plugins generally follow the minimum supported version of the platform, which the android current release has a min SDK of 24.

The error is a JS error though and doesn't really have anything to do with android SDK levels, but rather the webview version you're running doesn't have support for the let keyword. let was introduced in Chrome 49.

Based on AOSP emulators, the webview version that ships with a factory AOSP on API 24 is Chrome 51 if I recall correctly. You can double check the Android System Webview version to confirm if you're running something less than 49.

While AOSP emulators have a really low webview version, in practice most people running on the same device will likely have a more modern webview version as they will auto update unlike AOSP emulators. This can also be tested by using a Google Play enabled emulator, signing into Google Play and install the updates. We do try to support the "factory" webview versions based on the AOSP emulators though.

Android 6 is API 23, so the factory webview version I'd expect is less than 49, but I don't recall what the factory shipped version is on API 23 on top of my head.
