blinkinput/blinkinput-android v5.1.0

Improvements:

• The SDK is now supported on Android 16KB page size devices.
• Updated target API level to 36 with full support for edge-to-edge UI enforcement introduced in API level 35.

Breaking changes

• Min Android SDK API level is raised to 21 (Android 5.0)

• We've changed how RecognizerRunner processes images. Now it can treat Image objects as either video frame or photo frame. Until now, Direct API always processed images as photo frames, not giving ability to recognizers to use time-redundant information for yield better recognition quality.

• Removed support for x86 architecture:

  • Devices that are based on the Intel x86 architecture, rather than ARM, are no longer supported. x86 and x86_64 architectures are used on very few devices today with most of them being manufactured before 2015, and only a few after that (e.g. Asus Zenfone 4). According to the Device catalog on Google Play Console, these devices make up about 0.5% of all Android devices (97 out of 17278 devices that have an API level of 21 and above support this architecture).
