Android MinSdk Level 21 required

I’m integrating the latest version of the gocoder sdk to app(com.wowza.gocoder.sdk:2.0@aar), Here is the manual link:

https://www.wowza.com/docs/how-to-build-a-basic-app-with-gocoder-sdk-for-android

.... select a minimum SDK version of API 19 or higher, and then click Next.

But the Sdk requires minSdk set to 21! Android studio shows be error during the integrated app compilation:

Manifest merger failed : uses-sdk:minSdkVersion 19 cannot be smaller than version 21 declared in library [com.wowza.gocoder.sdk.android:com.wowza.gocoder.sdk

Is there any way to still support minSdk 19? Or It’s just manual’s text mistake and since now the Sdk minSdk = 21?

Hello @Kirill Vashilo, we have updated the docs to reflect the need for minSDKVersion to be 21 or higher. It will not work for minSDK 19. Thank you for posting about this so others will know.

  1. On the Target Android Devices page, select the form factors your app will run on (typically Phone and Tablet), select a minimum SDK version of API 21 or higher, and then click Next.
