minSkdVersion is just for indicate your application supporting min sdk version, i think it is not a problem. Example: you develop a APK using front facing camera, and you setting minsdkversion to 1.6, you should check the hardware support in your application, if it support, use the front facing camera, if not, just not using. it reply on your application, not platform.
