> > The Termux app avoided that by using a targetSdkVersion of Android 9, declaring that it was not compatible with the Android 10 requirements. > Android level 9 is from Android 2 Gingerbread (2010!!). https://apilevels.com/ Wait, no, Termux is not stuck at Gingerbread, it's stuck at Android 9 (Pie). Agree with the rest though. Android is a sinking ship, not only the Termux issue, but the increasing number of basic apps and features that are proprietary and not part of AOSP. I hope we'll be able to be caught by Linux Mobile or something like this in time. | ||

Apologies! I originally posted Android 9 Pie (2018), but had doubt & switched to the SDK version. My mistake!! The AI age where the AI needs to be able to peak into all the apps will hopefully create a new API / MCP age, new machine-to-machine work. I'm not sure how much of what Google is doing today is proprietary, adding hooks into all their apps and creating some means for Gemini to access that all, and how much is paved road & available for others. Very curious to know more. | ||
