minSdkVersion should be 23 and not 21 about exposure-notifications-android HOT 5 CLOSED

Any updates on this issue? The more people can use the Exposure Notifications API the better.

from exposure-notifications-android.

the docs seem to be updated:

For your app to work on all devices, set your minSdkVersion to version 6.0 (API level 23) or higher. The framework works on some devices as low as version 5.0 (API level 21), so using this version is an option to increase the number of devices eligible. If you decide to set the minSdkVersion to API level 21, you should test your app on the most popular Android 5.0 devices in your country to ensure that your app works as intended.

and this answers our question above.

Apparently, this also works on Android 5, so minSdk should be 21?

Thanks for the question. The minSdkVersion in the app is set correctly.

Does that mean that the documentation is wrong?

In https://developers.google.com/android/exposure-notifications/exposure-notifications-api#architecture :

For your app to work on a device, the device must run Android version 6.0 (API version 23) or higher.
