    Manifest merger failed: uses-sdk:minSdkVersion 16 cannot be smaller than version 19 declared in library :)UnityAds:) C:/Users:(My computers user name)/.gradle/caches/transforms-2/files-2-1/a54ab818ec425556c415cfeb31240/AndroidManifext.xml as the library might be using APIs not availible in 16.

    Hey @coffee_5019 unfortunately we had to update the minimum sdk version supported by the Unity Ads SDK due to some feature updates we added.

    Currently we only support Android API 19 and above, otherwise known as Android 4.4 KitKat. According to our stats, 99.8% of our app users are on this version of Android or above.

    API 19 is just another way of saying Android 4.4. What it means is that the Unity Ads SDK will work on any version of Android from 4.4 upwards :)

    If you're making a native Android project, you should have an AndroidManifest.xml file.

    If you're building in Unity you can find the setting in Project Settings -> Player -> Other Settings
