Thanks for the answer! I know the build target doesn't have to match
minSdkVersion, but new features aren't really my problem: I was thinking
about recreating the db structure from scratch. If i were to treat all users
alike i'd have to write some kind of transition from the old db structure to
the new one in the app, and tying all the loose ends would be a pain. I'm
trying to avoid this and i'm looking into other ways. Changing the build
target though would indeed seem kind of unfair, and i'd lose a lot of users.
Too bad i can't somehow offer an .apk for some users and another one for
others, depending on the OS version...
