I want my app suppoert from Android 7.0 to Android 9.0
So I set android version as below:
Compile Using Android Version(Target Framework): Android 11.0 (R)
Minimum Android Version: Android 7.0 (API Leverl 24)
Target Android Version: Android 9.0 (API Level 28)

See image below

When I install the generated apk on an android 7.0 emulator, it got an error and can not install

    Hello,

    Based on your error screenshot, Please right click your projectname.android, choose properties, select Android Options, scroll down to end and click Advanced, you can see the Supported architectures, select all of armeabi-v7a, x86, x86_64 and arm64-v8a.

    Before you generate a new APK. Please adding the android:extractNativeLibs="true" line code to the AndroidManifest.xml. Fore more details, please refer to this answer

    Best Regards,
