yeah you need to change minsdk version. However corona doesnt support manually setting this field
Just compile your app as normal, then use apk manager (get it over at xda-developers) to extract the final apk. Edit the android manifest to make the changes, the compile it again.
Finally use jarsigner to sign it (as you would a native app), and zip align it (if you want - corona doesnt even zip align it :P)
There’s several advantages to doing this even if you dont want to edit that particular field:
Coroan automatically adds the vibrate permision - you can safely remove that if you dont use it. My app says ‘NO PERMISIONS’ when installing which is nice for end users to see
You can add fields for small screen support
You can remove the opengl 1.1 requirement since corona also works fine under 1.0
If you’re not compiling for 2.2 (i.e. < 2.2) and you want to support apps 2 sd for 2.2 users you can simple add the android:installLocation=“auto” field
APK manager compressions is alot better than the standard one used in corona. My app size drops from 5.3mb to 4.5mb
