Hi Team,

While executing create-client command, it gives below error.

OS - Android

MDK - 23.4.1

Metadata - 2210

Extension - 2305.0.1

Dependency check shows green.

does it create the project? Maybe you can open the project and change the minSdk version to 29.

I see you have also opened a ticket with support for this issue. Please be sure to attach your .mdkproject folder used for the create-client to the ticket. We will review and respond to the ticket with further updates.

Thanks Bill. Yes, have uploaded .mdkproject. To me it looks like a bug with barcode scanner extension.

The issue is with your .mdkproject app.gradle. You are missing the minSdkVersion and targetSdkVersion properties. The ticket should be updated back to you with more details soon.

Thanks Bill for looking into it and providing the solution. After adding minSdkVersion and targetSdkVersion on build.gradle it started working.

Just curious to know, why does it needed to add it on MDK 23.4.1 and not on older MDK versions?

[bill_froelich · Accepted solution]

Since MDK 23.4.x uses newer versions of various components, I would guess that something within there is now requiring certain minimums which is why it needs to be set.
