This makes as of today (according to <a href=\"https:\/\/developer.android.com\/about\/dashboards\/index.html\">google<\/a>) 96% of the android installations worldwide. Eventually we want to settle to 4.3 (JB) as minimum to allow us using certain features and avoiding <a href=\"https:\/\/github.com\/opengisch\/QField\/issues\/6\">one known issue<\/a>, but for now it would mean cutting of another 25% of the users.<br \/>\n<strong>So as of today it is: 4.0.3 (Ice cream sandwich API 15) is the required minimal Android version to run QField and Android 4.3 (Jelly Bean API 18)\u00a0is the suggested minimal version.<\/strong><br \/>\nWe tested with 4.4, 5.0.1 and 5.1 but we haven&#8217;t had the chance to get our hands on an Android 6 so if you can, let us know how it works.<br \/>\nBut adding support for android 5 isn&#8217;t the only great news, during the process we also:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"recent-change\">Reintroduced WMS support<\/li>\n<li class=\"recent-change\">Removed ministro dependency. All libs are now bundled so that the installation is as simple as possible<\/li>\n<li class=\"recent-change\">Drastically reduced total download size from 300MB+ to 36MB<\/li>\n<li class=\"recent-change\">Updated libs to QGIS 2.13 (https:\/\/github.com\/qgis\/QGIS\/commit\/6b3eddd)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>We would like to thank to the City of Vevey and the QGIS hack fest Gran Canaria for supporting\u00a0the development of this critical feature.<br \/>\nQField is an Open Source project led by OPENGIS.ch LLC, more <a href=\"https:\/\/www.opengis.ch\/android-gis\/qfield\/\">information<\/a>, the <a href=\"https:\/\/qfield.opengis.ch\/repo\">source code<\/a> and a possibility to donate to the project can be found on the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.opengis.ch\/android-gis\/qfield\/\">QField page<\/a> (preferred) or by buying the QField for <a href=\"https:\/\/qfield.opengis.ch\/karma\">QGIS Karma edition app<\/a>.<br \/>\nAlso if you need a specific feature, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.opengis.ch\/contact\/\">contact us<\/a>\u00a0to sponsor its development.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div style=\"clear:both\">\n<div style=\"float:left; width:40%\">It&#8217;s done, QField runs on any android from 4.0.3 (ICS) with a seamless installing experience.
