⚡ Important Changes
Minimum SDK version raised to 23 (Android 6.0)
The SDK now requires minSdk 23, aligning with AndroidX Compose library requirements and modern Android development practices. Apps targeting API levels 21-22 must remain on version 17.x.
Target SDK version raised to 36 (Android 16)
The SDK now targets Android 16, ensuring compliance with the latest Google Play requirements and enabling support for new platform features including improved edge-to-edge display behavior. Your project must use compileSdk 36 or higher. If you are not ready to use API level 36, please stay on version 17.x.
Internal storage migrated from SharedPreferences to AndroidX DataStore
All internal SDK data storage has been migrated from SharedPreferences to AndroidX DataStore, bringing significant improvements to reliability, thread safety, and performance. Sensitive data is now protected with AES-256-GCM encryption via Android Keystore. Existing SDK data is automatically migrated on first launch with no action required from developers. This migration is one-way — downgrading to a previous SDK version after upgrading will result in loss of local SDK state.
