How to find out what is the minimum version of Android required by an application from the Google Play Market?

Question

Android

How can I find out what minimum version of Android an application requires from the Google Play Market or just from the installation APK file? At the same time, the Play Market or when installing the apk file writes that "Your device is not supported."

Answer 1

If not supported, it is not necessarily due to the version. Maybe there are not enough hardware or software features. And so "Google apk analize online", and watch the manifest.

Answer 2

if the program is installed on the phone, then look at the manifest
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=jp.s...
uses-sdk android:minSDKVersion
You can easily find the trade (commercial name) from the SDK number
https://source.android.com/setup/start/build-numbers
Or any other way look into the manifest.
But often the application is not available due to hardware or other requirements that the developer set require true (required). And he could send a whole family of mobile phones to those that are not supported due to frequent errors on them.
