    Hi all

    How many APIs do you have installed in your SDK? Is it just the latest or do you have the majority installed?

    Am I right in thinking if you have API (10) Android 2.3.3 - your app should work on phones running that version? But BB doesn't support that far back?

    You only need the one required (API 23 in most cases now). Any lower SDK can be a minimum target but you don't need it installed. BB currently support a minimum SDK of 11 (Android 3.x). You could change the minimum target in your AndroidManifest file to a lower number and it may still work. But Android 2.x and earlier only get like 5% of the traffic.
