Android Question working on older devices

[vangogh]

---- my manifest editor says:

'This code will be applied to the manifest file during compilation.
'You do not need to modify it in most cases.
'See this link for for more information: https://www.b4x.com/forum/showthread.php?p=78136
AddManifestText(
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="21" android:targetSdkVersion="33"/>
<supports-screens android:largeScreens="true"
android:normalScreens="true"
android:smallScreens="true"
android:anyDensity="true"/>)
SetApplicationAttribute(android:icon, "@drawable/icon")
SetApplicationAttribute(android:label, "$LABEL$")
CreateResourceFromFile(Macro, Themes.LightTheme)
'End of default text.


--- my previous manifest editor, on b4a v2.71, was

(cut)
<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="4" />
(cut)

--- Should I change something in my NEW manifest tomake the app run well on older devices? (android 6+)
(new) <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="21" android:targetSdkVersion="33"/>
(old) <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="4" />

thank you
