rtek1000 Active Member Licensed User Longtime User Jul 19, 2021 #1 Hi, I would like to know if the old B4A versions are available for download, in order to be able to make use of old equipment. I saw the post about the minimum version, but currently the version is 14, and the device is 7. Thank you.

You can use the last version of B4A, and still make an app for an old device (android phone). This means that an app with targetSdkVersion set to 14 (Android 4.0) will run properly on an Android 8.0 device and it will not be required to request runtime permissions, nor handle any other breaking change.
