Why Andorid Push Requires Android API level 7.1 Nougat (API 25)

Hi,

I am willing to use Android Push notification but in documentation says Set "Minimum API Level" to 7.1 Nougat (API 25). This blocks so many devices to use our game. I've created a beta version of the app to test and see how it will effect and it Google Play Console says Only 84 devices supported and 13278 devices not supported. This is somehow unacceptable.

When you are planning to reduce to dependency level? Anytime soon?

There's actually a fairly detailed discussion on this topic in this thread: https://community.playfab.com/questions/10840/android-plugin-upgrade-discussion.html. We'll also be updating the documentation shortly to clarify that we support 21-25.
