How do I...?
1

Hi!
I created a game and I tested it on a smartphone (Android version is “7.0”) It works very well, but when I tested it on a smartphone version “4.4” the game becomes very slow! and sometimes crashing!!!
1- why?
2- if the problem is android version,what is the minimum android version allows running Gdevelop games (greater than 5,0 for exemple?) ?

Old devices have old spec, and old OS system.
Ggames can require an API only available on lastest devices/OS.
And if you run a old game on old device its working, but the invert is not always possible because games can require more power from devices. (CPU GPU RAM)
It’s like running Windows10 on a PC that only takes Windows 98.
This may be possible(I think not) but the material cannot keep up.

To answer to your second question, the minimum android version for GDevelop games is 4.4 by default.
