Android Module Upgrade Guide

Summary

Migration to SDK 9.0.0

When using Titanium SDK 9.0.0 and later, you can simply switch to your Android module project (e.g. cd ti.map/android) and use appc run -p android --build-only. The command will prompt you to confirm the migration and update your manifest file for you. The details of the migration are described below.

The following components of the Android manifest file need to be updated:

• architecture : Make sure the following 4 CPU architectures "arm64-v8a armeabi-v7a x86 x86_64" are defined
• apiversion : Update the value to "4"
• minsdk : Update the value to "9.0.0" when building with Titanium SDK 9.0.0 or higher
• version : Update the value to the next major version (read more about semantic versioning here). If your module version is "1.2.0" right now, it should be revised to "2.0.0"

Please see the "ti.map" module's manifest file for an example on how it should be configured when building with Titanium SDK 9.0.0 or higher.
