    Hey all,

    I the Project Settings within Unity, you can set the Minimum API Level and the Target API Level. What do these values actually do?

    I assume that the Minimum API Level means older Android phones (ones that do not have the Lollipop OS or newer) wont be able to play my game.

    However, I am not sure what Target API Level means? I had it set to API level 31, but some Unity bug is basically forcing me to change it to API level 33.... My game is currently in the app stores... will changing this to 33 cause the game to no longer work for some of my players?

    Thanks!

    Depends on the end user's phone, if they have an ancient Android phone then no, it'll not work.
