Hello, I’m the developer and maintainer of one f-droid app. I want to figure whether I can drop my compatibility to pre v21 API Android phones to get rid of some hard limitations and problems. To do this I intend to add a survey to my app: You get a dialog, asking whether you want to take part and…

Yeah I’ve also noticed that I have zero v21 users. The survey is still going. As of now 2.26% < v21. Though I’m wondering how one can run this on v18, which is below the minimum configured for the application.

not sure what you mean with data file it’s just a mariadb sql doing the report
