**Description**  
We have upgraded the Zoom SDK to the latest version **v4.6.21666.0429**. We have defined the **minSdkVersion to 19.** Seems like when we make the gradle sync after the module import, it returns android manifest errors. But when I change the **minSdkVersion = 21** everything seems to be working fine. As the [documentation](https://marketplace.zoom.us/docs/sdk/native-sdks/android/getting-started/prerequisites) says Min supported API Level is 14 but also on the [repository](https://github.com/zoom/zoom-sdk-android) it is mentioned as the prerequisite of **API Level 21** is needed. Since the SDK was working fine for us before with **API Level 19** we wanted that to happen with the latest release as well. Can you kindly check and let us know the update.

**Which version?**  
v4.6.21666.0429

Hi @abhishekt,

Thanks for the post. The SDK doc is a little bit outdated and the one on Github is the latest information. I will contact the doc team to update the information in the SDK doc. The minSdkVersion for the latest SDK is 21.

Thanks!

Hi @zhaowentao668,

因为Zoom Client已经不再支持Android 4.4，而Client SDK又是基于Zoom Client的，所以也没有办法支持4.4了

谢谢
