LC uses the SDK primarily for its build tools, which allow the IDE to create standalones for Android. The SDK does not affect the versions of Android your app will require. For years we built apks using SDK 6, and apps built using those tools still run on Android 10 today.

A while back the SDK 6 build tools no longer worked with the current version of LC and we had to update to SDK 8 for compatibility. I am building apks with that SDK that run on all versions of Android from 4.x on up to 10.

The Android versions you want to support are set in standalone settings.

Hi folks, I'm following this tutorial

http://lessons.livecode.com/m/4069/l/985962-livecode-and-android-studio

and i've installed android 8.0 SDK as specified ....

the distribution chart says that only 6% of devices have this version of
android.

Does this mean only 6% of devices will be able to correctly install my
application?
