Other minSDK version

[sorex]

Hello,

I uploaded a new apk file the the Play store and now it suddely gives this message...

You uploaded an APK that uses Google Play services version 4030500. This will only work with Android API levels of 9 and above. It is discouraged to use this Google Play services version unless you have set the minSdkVersion in your manifest to 9 or higher

yesterday it didn't give that.

I see in the manifest editor that I can edit that line.

1. Should I do that
2. What impact could it have to my app?
3. What's the minimum OS that my app will require?

You should add it. It will limit your app to Android 2.3.
