Description
This may be trivial, but 2.3.X market share is below 10%. We need to remove any dependencies on this version, as well as update relevant documentation.
PR: https://github.com/appcelerator/titanium_mobile/pull/6970
Is it any premises to set API to 13 not 14 (4.x)?
[~farwayer] I'm not sure what you mean. Can you explain?
This PR raised min android SDK version to 13. By the http://developer.android.com/about/dashboards/index.html less than 0.1% of devices are using this version. Imho is more right to update min SDK to new major release (4.0 or 14 API) if you decided to remove support of 2.3.x with 5.6% devices.
Verified the fix. The package.json in the mentioned SDK below has
Closing. Environment: Appc Studio : 5.0.0.201508251028 Ti SDK : 5.0.0.v20150903090433 Ti CLI : 4.1.5 Alloy : 1.7.6 MAC Yosemite : 10.10.4 Appc NPM : 4.1.0-2 Appc CLI : 5.0.0-33 Node: v0.10.37
