Drop Payload Support for Android Versions below 12

[Morsmalleo]

Pretty simple question really, but I can't seem to make my mind up, so I'm asking the AhMyth Community.

Should we drop support for Android Versions below Android 12 in order to focus on more modern version releases of Android considering that the release of Android 14 is Imminent, (FYI: This means AhMyth APK's won't work on older devices, only newer ones) or should we continue to try and keep support for Android Versions below Android 12?

You decide guys 👍

I think the version can be lowered to 10. After all, many areas are underdeveloped, and the mobile phone system may not be that advanced.

Well currently, the AhMyth payload is configured for SDK 16 (Android 4.1 Jelly Bean) upto SDK 22 (Android 5.1 Lollipop), so I'm surprised the payload works as well as it does believe it or not, what I'm thinking of doing is the following

• Keep the current payload that's configured for SDK 16 through SDK 22, and mark it as a Legacy Payload for those who are targetting older Android Versions

• Create a new payload for Modern Android Devices configured for a minimum SDK of 29 (Android 10) through to a maximum SDK of 34 (Android 14).

I'm not sure on the Minimum SDK version yet though, I may have the new payload support Android versions as low as SDK 26 (Android 8.0 Oreo) or SDK 23 (Android 6 Marshmallow), considering that SDK 23 is where a lot of stuff started changing for Android Apps when building them.

Results are in, 2 New Payloads for AhMyth will be created

This WILL TAKE A LONG TIME, so for now people are going to have to put up with updates I make to the current Client
