I have a cheap Android device to test on, an Orange San Francisco, aka. ZTE Blade. I have changed the API seetings, have looked at all the VD's, and deleted them all. I keep getting time after time, it 'Installed Failed Older SDK'. I'm on a Mac, any help and advice would be greatfully recieved.

Titanium SDK 1.7.5 was the last to support Android API 2.1. Titanium 1.8.X and up will require minimum Android 2.2. You can either drop to the lower Ti SDK or upgrade the device.

  • We have one app that will continue to be compiled against the older APIs for maximum exposure. It is a very simple app that displays our customer's data to his clients. Because it has no bells or whistles or fancy functions we can do that. Not so much the case for the other projects I'm afraid.

  • Fantastic advice, I used the update SDK via URL, and chose the last SDK build, and its now working fine on my device. Many thanks for your help.

Looks like it shipped with Android 2.1. Also looks like an upgrade to 2.2 was released.

So, 2.1 would be your minimum target API level.

  1. Open your TIAPP.xml in the project.
  2. Click the configure below the Deployment Targets. 3.Under Android, select Android 2.1 as your Default Android SDK.
  3. Depending on that features you use in your app, may have to use Google APIs Android 2.1

  • Based upon Google's Market information, just less than 10% of the devices accessing the market are running an API less than 8 (Android 2.2, Froyo)

    I mention it less anyone cry 'foul' over the 'forced' minimum base API that 1.8.x brought to us. Many of those devices will never be upgraded due to hardware specs and or carrier restrictions.

    Around 90% of the androids in the wild are at Level 8 and Level 10.

    It is worth knowing your target audience.
