Hello,
This is because in MAUI, the Android platform supports a minimum of API 21.
.NET Multi-platform App UI (.NET MAUI) apps can be written for the following platforms: Android 5.0 (API 21) or higher.
Therefore, you cannot set the minimum SDK to be smaller than 21.
Please refer to Supported platforms for .NET MAUI apps for more details.
Best Regards,
Alec Liu.
