It very much depends where you're looking (or more to the point, where you're looking to distribute). It obviously varies widely by region. E.g. Worldwide, according to https://www.statista.com/statistics/271774/share-of-android-platforms-on-mobile-devices-with-android-os/ Android 4.4 is 6.9% (of all Android, not of all mobile), and earlier versions together add up to 3.8%. But US only (https://www.statista.com/statistics/865837/mobile-android-version-share-in-the-us/), 4.4 is just 0.68% of all Android. E.g. using Device Atlas data from Q2 2019 https://deviceatlas.com/blog/mobile-os-versions-by-country gives Android 4.4 share (nothing below 4.4 is registered) as: Egypt 7.80% Indonesia 5.59% South Korea 4.32% Romania 4.04% Argentina 3.27% South Africa2.47% Nigeria 2.42% India 1.53% These numbers are percentage of all mobile (i.e. including iOS). These countries are the only ones for which Android 4 registers. For the UK, the oldest recorded version is Android 5.1 on 1.5%; for US it's Android 6 on 2.61%. Ralph, can you give more information about that "5% of all active installs" figure?

BR, If I read the release notes correctly Android versions 4.4 (KitKat) 4.1-4.3 (Jelly Bean) 4.0 (Ice Cream Sandwich) Are no longer supported. Supported Android minimum version is now 5.0-5.1 (Lollipop) Ralph DiMola IT Director Evergreen Information Services rdim...@evergreeninfo.net -Original Message- From: use-livecode [mailto:use-livecode-boun...@lists.runrev.com] On Behalf Of Sannyasin Brahmanathaswami via use-livecode Sent: Friday, April 17, 2020 11:04 PM To: How to use LiveCode Cc: Sannyasin Brahmanathaswami Subject: Re: Android Release Requires 21 but 911 Devices Get Dropped?

I wonder if I did something wrong. Just releasing a new version of SivaSiva to the stores... Using 9.6.0 dp 4 -- which contained an important bug fix for the javascript handlers in the browser widget. I want prompted that I need to upgrade for SDK18 to SDK21. With no apparent option to do otherwise. Now at my Google Release console it is saying that 911 devices will be unsupported "Doesn't support framework version 21 and onwards" It includes a fairly high percentage of devices: 9.5% of phones and 13.9% of tablets Perhaps that just what it takes to keep going forward. But maybe I did something wrong?
