I have an existing app in Google Playstore (created with Ionic v1) and make small changes to build for a release version. I was prompt by playstore that my current app is using a minimum supported API which is 19 and needs to be updated to 22 to be released. Error occurred after I increased the minSdkVersion 22. The apk for minSdkVersion 19 works perfectly when I tested.
Before: <preference name="android-minSdkVersion" value="19" />
Now: <preference name="android-minSdkVersion" value="22" />
The error is per the screenshot

Is Ionic v1 unable to submit new app to Google play store anymore?
From the errors, what are the possible issues that I can try to fix?
