Description
Using:-
<android xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
<manifest>
<uses-sdk android:targetSdkVersion="22"/>
</manifest>
</android>
Update the android:targetSdkVersion in the tiapp.xml or custom AndroidManifest to at least 23:
[ERROR] : The target SDK API 22 is not supported by Titanium SDK 5.1.1
<ti:app xmlns:ti="http://ti.appcelerator.org">
<android>
<manifest>
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="14" android:targetSdkVersion="23" />
</manifest>
</android>
</ti:app>
[ERROR] : The target SDK API version must be 23 or newer
TRACE | titanium exited with exit code 1
ERROR | Error: ti run exited with error code 1

[ERROR] Application Installer abnormal process termination. Process exit value was 1
This is not possible at the moment due to the appcompat library being used is set for 23.
Titanium 6.0.0 and higher already supports targeting a different API Level. And we document what range of API Levels each version of Titanium support. However, the targeted API Level must be in the range that Titanium supports, but this is not a major issue since Google Play expects apps to target a relatively new'ish version anyways. Closing.
