Description
The generated settings.gradle.kts file in the .build folder has this line:
version("android-sdk-min", "28")
(EDIT: Previously it was 29.)
That's kinda high. According to the Android Studio "Help me choose" dialog, supporting API level 28 and higher only supports 95.3% of users as of December 1, 2025.
When creating a new project as of today, Android Studio recommends supporting at least back to API 24.
