I can’t believe that you have to make your game install only on 4.0.1+ android version. I would like to make it 2.3+ . Can someone help me understand how to do it? Thanks guys

Dont believe you can, godot needs 4.0

Could be wrong, not totally sure

I believe the support for android versions below 4.0 has been dropped in 2.0. It has already been discussed in Android 2.3 compatibility [broken in 2.0, worked in 1.1] · Issue #3784 · godotengine/godot · GitHub.

if you really really want to make an android template supports 2.3,
you can try to make your own android template.

  1. get source code at github ( GitHub - godotengine/godot: Godot Engine – Multi-platform 2D and 3D game engine )
  2. change minSdkVersion 14 to 10 in platform/android/build.gradle.template
  3. here is guide for making android template.
    Compiling for Android — Godot Engine (latest) documentation in English

I’m not sure this works fine because I didn’t try with sdk version 10.
