[flutter_sound] SDK Version issue

[MatheusTraldi]

[flutter_sound: ^9.19.1]

After installing the package, the Android build crashes with the error:

C:\Users\mathe\musical_leds_controller\android\app\src\debug\AndroidManifest.xml Error:
uses-sdk:minSdkVersion 21 cannot be smaller than version 24 declared in library [:flutter_sound] C:\Users\mathe\musical_leds_controller\build\flutter_sound\intermediates\merged_manifest\debug\AndroidManifest.xml as the library might be using APIs not available in 21
Suggestion: use a compatible library with a minSdk of at most 21,
or increase this project's minSdk version to at least 24,
or use tools:overrideLibrary="xyz.canardoux.fluttersound" to force usage (may lead to runtime failures)

I can't find a valid way to overcome it. What's a good suggestion, please?

Tau is not yet released.
Flutter Sound needs at least minSdk 24 on Android.
You should switch to Flutter Sound plugin and update your minSdkVersion parameter in file app/build.gradle
You can look to this example

Thanks for the answer.

I got it running. I will post here the steps I took to update the Android SDK for those who don't know how to do it (like me).

Steps:

1. In ./android/app/build.gradle file:

   defaultConfig {
       // ...
       minSdkVersion 24 // add this
       // ...
   }

2. In the terminal:

   flutter clean
   flutter pub get
   flutter run

The flutter run is very important. Just start debugging with something like the Start button in Visual Studio doesn't install the update.

There is a current bug when updating like this. Flutter will prompt a solution, which involves modifying a variable in a specific file.

Repeat in the terminal after that:

```bash
flutter clean
flutter pub get
flutter run
```
