Posted this in the Capacitor forums but will add here as well
Looking over the documentation for the upcoming Capacitor 7 release and I see that it apparently will no longer support Android 5.x. Looking at Updating from Capacitor 6 to Capacitor 7, I see that the minSdkVersion should be changed to 23 (Android 6). I see no other mention of this drop of support in the documentation. Ionic 7/8 still support Android 5.1+ (docs say… Ionic v8, Android 5.1+ with Chromium 89+)
Can anyone provide insight as to why this is? Why is this change necessary? Does this mean that an Ionic 8 + Capacitor 7 app will no longer support Android 5.1?
