Android Question MinSDKVersion requirements

[Ishmael]

Please I have an app with Minimum SDK set to 14 to support these devices.

I saw in-app review library which insist minsdkversion should be set to 21.

I want to find out what happens if I go ahead without changing it to 21?

Will it my app continue to work and the in-app review will ignore devices that doesn't meet 21 and work only on 21 devices and up

You need to test it on an Android 4 device. Good chance that it will crash. In some cases you can check the version with Phone.SdkVersion and avoid calling the unsupported code.

Thank you Erel I think checking first will work for me. I will test it as suggested on Android 4 devices too to see the results

You also can check if SDK version on device is 21 or lower. If is lower do not use in-app review library on that device.
