Do I need to worry about new startScan()/getScanResults() restrictions if both compileSdkVersion and targetSdkVersion are 21?

My app stop working on Android Pie but my project (very old!) is

compileSdkVersion 21
minSdkVersion 14
targetSdkVersion 21

Do you think I need to rewrite the code that uses WiFiManager to respect the latest Android security restrictions?

Solution

  • You won't be able to publish to Google Play unless you target API 26+, so if you want to publish to Google Play or provide a experience that is consistent with other modern apps, you would need to rewrite your WifiManager code to comply with the latest Android security restrictions.
