Ok, so. Jackson-databind works on Android, requiring a certain minimum Android SDK version. But we:
1. Don't necessarily know exactly which SDK version for given Jackson version 2. Cannot guarantee that there are no changes that change (increase) minimum needed for patches 3. Do not properly plan on increasing minimum SDK requirement (unlike with JDK itself) But I think that it should be possible to build something with Github CI actions that could test (1) so we could do (2) and (3). This could be something like Retrofit (http client) does with: https://github.com/square/retrofit/tree/master/retrofit/android-test which is, I think, to have a simple Android test project specifically meant for quick testing that things work against specific Jackson version with defined Android SDK level(s). Unfortunately I do not develop on Android platform and don't quite know how to do this. But I am guessing someone on this mailing lists might have more experience and could perhaps help? It would be great to better support Android developers and avoid issues like: https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson-databind/issues/3412 https://github.com/FasterXML/jackson-databind/issues/3658 wherein basic SDK was unintentionally increased. -+ Tatu +- -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "jackson-dev" group.
