Lollipop no longer supported

[r-a-y]

As of v96, Chromium no longer supports Lollipop. See https://groups.google.com/a/chromium.org/g/chromium-dev/c/2MwR9KqwY9I/m/zpJ-fksqBwAJ.

Would be nice if Lollipop could still be supported if possible, but understand if resources are tight.

I think it is not a hard limitation? You can probably still install, but some functionalities will not work correctly.

Just tried installing on a Lollipop device.

The following dialog prompt displays:

Parse error

There was a problem parsing the package.

So it appears to be a hard limitation.

I was trying to find where the limit is but hadn't been able to. If I can find a simple way to revert it I will make a version otherwise there is not much I can do I think.

Maybe this ticket will help in finding the specific commits? https://bugs.chromium.org/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=1265456

Unfortunately the issue is more a follow-up to the change that cleans up the code rather than the original change.
