AndroidManifest

I got this message when trying to upload an app to google play
Play installer check requires a minimum SDK version of 21 or higher. The uploaded app bundle has a minimum SDK version of 19. Update the minSdkVersion in your app's Android manifest.

Here is my manifest.
Where in the manifest should I put the statement minSdkVersion 21 ?

Hm. I now included these lines in my manifest, but google still refuse to accept the bundle:
Play installer check requires a minimum SDK version of 21 or higher. The uploaded app bundle has a minimum SDK version of 19. Update the minSdkVersion in your app's Android manifest.
I will try to update to gradle 8.0 and a newer CMake and see if that makes a difference.

Code: Select all

      <uses-sdk  
        android:minSdkVersion="21"  
        android:targetSdkVersion="34" />

I was misguided by the google error message to look in the AndroidManifest.xml, but it apears that there is a minSdkVersion setting in the build.gradle script also that overrides whatever is in the manifest setting.
I got it resolved now by editing the build gradle setting
