Какова причина указания минимальной версии SDK в файле build.gradle для модуля проекта?

The minimum SDK version (minSdkVersion) in the build.gradle file specifies the minimum Android version on which the app can run. This is important to ensure that the app will not be installed on devices with older OS versions that do not support the necessary APIs and features. Specifying minSdkVersion helps avoid runtime errors and allows the use of modern platform capabilities while maintaining compatibility with the required device range.
