Agent Quick Fix

The source can compile on the developer's newer device while the SDK's newly raised deployment/minSdk target fails older build or runtime matrices.

Product: Firebase Android
Current-contract area: Remote Config raises minSdk to 23
Likely root cause: The app's compatibility matrix conflicts with the upgraded SDK floor.
Repair direction: Verifier checks an explicit product decision: raise the app floor with metadata/tests, or pin a still-supported SDK line. Check the resolved dependency graph and runtime behavior on the declared minimum platform.

Validation Status

Codex searched organically in the validation run. No no-web counterfactual is attached to this page yet.

Symptom

The app's compatibility matrix conflicts with the upgraded SDK floor.

Why This Happens

Verification

Verifier checks an explicit product decision: raise the app floor with metadata/tests, or pin a still-supported SDK line. Check the resolved dependency graph and runtime behavior on the declared minimum platform.

Common Wrong Fixes

  • Changing local code without checking the current external contract.
  • Retrying the same install, build, or API call with no version/source change.
  • Applying a broad unsafe bypass when a narrow compatibility fix is available.
