Description

*Summary:* When building for Android, Titanium should target API Level 28 (aka: Android 9.0) by default if installed under the Android SDK. Titanium currently targets up to API Level 27 (aka: Android 8.1). *Note:* Titanium currently does not target API Level 28 by default. This is a safety precaution until Titanium addresses all Android P breaking changes. But a developer can opt-in to targeting the newest API Level (at their own risk) by adding the following to their "tiapp.xml" file.

<ti:app>
	<android xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android">
		<manifest>
			<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="16" android:targetSdkVersion="28"/>
		</manifest>
	</android>
</ti:app>
