build(android): Pin AAR minCompileSdk to minSdk#5823
Merged
Conversation
AGP 9 changed the default so a published library's AAR metadata minCompileSdk mirrors its compileSdk, which we recently bumped to 37. That would force every consumer of the Android SDK onto compileSdk 37. Pin minCompileSdk to our minSdk for all published Android library modules so consumers stay free to compile against any SDK we support, preserving the pre-AGP-9 behavior.

📜 Description
Pin the AAR metadata
minCompileSdkto ourminSdkfor all published Android library modules, set centrally in the sharedcom.android.libraryconfiguration in the rootbuild.gradle.kts.💡 Motivation and Context
AGP 9.0 changed the default so that a published library's AAR metadata
minCompileSdkmirrors itscompileSdk, requiring consumers to compile against the same or higher SDK. Since we recently bumpedcompileSdkto 37, this default would force every consumer of the Android SDK ontocompileSdk 37.Pinning
minCompileSdkto ourminSdkkeeps consumers free to compile against any SDK we support, preserving the pre-AGP-9 behavior.💚 How did you test it?
Verified that
