Requirements

DriveKit is developed with the Kotlin language and is compatible with Android 6.0 (API 23) and later versions.

We strongly recommend to configure (minSdkVersion) your project app to support Android 8.0 (API 26) or later version as DriveKit SDK will no longer support Android 6 (API 23) and Android 7.x (API 24 and 25) from end-2024.

The latest DriveKit SDK version is configured with these attributes:

Android SDK version property	API level
minSdkVersion	23 (Android 6)
compileSdkVersion	34 (Android 14)
targetSdkVersion	34 (Android 14)

Please ensure that others libraries integrated in your project are compatible with these versions ; for example if you use a library to manage runtime permissions.

DriveKit uses the libraries listed below. These are minimal required versions. Check that they are compatible with your app:

Library	Version
Kotlin	1.8.22
Java	17
Gson	2.10.1
Volley	1.2.1
Room	2.5.2
Work Manager	2.9.0
Play Services Location	21.0.1

DriveKit uses key-value backup. If you use Auto Backup, you need to add android:fullBackupOnly in your Manifest.
