    Hello!
    I'm trying to update UnityAds SDK (3.4.8 -> 3.5.1) in my app and it seems that latest updates of the SDK uses minSdkVersion=19 on Android. It's sad because my apps minSdkVersion is 17. I didn't find anything in release notes about minSdkVersion change. Is it intentional? Does the SDK really use version 19 API?

    Manifest merger failed : uses-sdk:minSdkVersion 17 cannot be smaller than version 19 declared in library [unity-ads.aar] C:\Users\job-badava\.gradle\caches\transforms-2\files-2.1\99fb35c30153175382805a92e04630bd\AndroidManifest.xml as the library might be using APIs not available in 17

    Hey @a_naumuk sorry about the delay in a response. Yes, the minimum sdk version was updated recently to API level 19 (Android 4.4 KitKat). This was due to a change in the SDK functionality requiring Android features that are not available before that.

    Only a tiny amount of users are still using versions of Android from before API 19, so the effect of this change should be minimal.
