What's the earliest Android API level I can use Kotlin with?

I think the question is pretty clear but what's the earliest API level I can target on Kotlin?

Solution

  • Actually, any API level.

    That's because Kotlin is compiled into bytecode for JVM 6 platform, which is supported in all Android API levels. So, unless you use any of the newer Android API in your Kotlin code, it does not require any specific API level.
