~~Cool, thanks!~~
Do you know if they target different versions? Their F-Droid version is min SDK Android 5, which may indicate they target an outdated version for compatibility.
Wait these are just links, I mean releasing the APK. On Google Play you send them your selfbuilt APK, on F-Droid they build it.
minSdk isn't the same as targetSdk or maxSdk.
You can target Android 14 and still support Android 1.5 devices if you really want to. Android will enforce that you use Android 14's security features, but you can still use the old APIs just fine on older versions of Android.
Android uses the target SDK to determine which restrictions to impose, because if you target Android 8 then your app can't be aware of Android 14 features so it goes into compatibility mode. But the minimum SDK doesn't matter, it's just there to tell users of too old Android versions that the app can't run.
