Not able to support Android 19 version in ionic 7

Ionic Framework
1

I’ve upgrade my application into ionic 7. I want to support my application till android 19. Any lead or help would be appropriate.

Capacitor 5 supports SDK 22+, cordova-android 12 support SDK 24+.
So it’s not possible to support Android SDK 19 unless you use a very old cordova-android versions that supported Android SDK 19 or you build your own thing using a WebView.
Using a very old cordova-android version will work with Android SDK 19 devices, but will not work properly on new devices, so I wouldn’t recommend doing that.

With SDK 22 you should cover 99.2% of the market, so I don’t think it’s worth the trouble of going down to 19 just to get the extra 0.8% considering users with newer devices will probably have problems.
