If you are using APIs available only in later Android versions, this must be set to the Android version that API became available or higher. There are three settings in the Application tab of the project properties to set the target Android versions.Ĭompile using Android version must be set to a minimum of Android 4.2. To allow your game to run on lower Android versions, set the Minimum Android version to the desired version in the project properties.

Since MonoGame targets Android 4.2, the Target Framework in your Android project must be set to 4.2 or higher. If you build MonoGame from source, you will need the SDK Platform for API Level 17 installed in the Android SDK Manager.

MonoGame is built to target Android 4.2 (API Level 17), but can run on lower Android versions. Specifying the target Android versions can be confusing.
