x/mobile: manual declaration of uses-sdk in AndroidManifest.xml not supported

[ntop001]

We need to set the minSdkVersion and targetSdkVersion in the AndroidManifest.xml file. But it won't build, gomobile will exit with err:

manual declaration of uses-sdk in AndroidManifest.xml not supported

minSdkVersion and targetSdkVersion is a commonly used in Android. If not set, app market like Google Play will refused to accept the app.

UP. Any ideas, how target to custom SdkVersion?

@xape4ka Don't use go/mobile to build apk, but use go/mobile to build a shared .so file, and then call it in your Android projects, it works.

This is not a practical solution. gomobile meant to build apk I don't want to create an Android project from scratch (don't want to install stupid Android Studio)

It seems gomobile no longer maintained!
This is an essential issue not solved since 5 years!!!

@mbnoimi Have you read through the Wiki? (Don't want to assume that you have/haven't.) The readme's go into pretty good detail about what the limitations are on the bindings, being that it's still a v0 "experiment", for each platform.

Also, there's a pretty large time gap in updates ...

Probably pkg.go.dev shows only part of them.
