Workspace Reboot

[b3by]

The entire application will be redesigned from the scratch. Still the minimum API level and the target API level should be defined. The old minSdkVersion is 8, which allows all 2.2.x devices to run the application.
The app could either:

• use a minSdkVersion of 14 or higher, avoiding the use of external compatibility libraries, thus enforcing performances, but cutting out users with old Android versions, or
• keep using the current minSdkVersion, allowing all users to use the application but making impossible some kinds of native support leveraging.

The choice should be based on the current developer console data

Lite version

Android 4.x : 81.58% of the users
Android 2.x : 12.89% of the users

Pro version

Android 4.x : 83.34% of the users
Android 2.x : 16.66% of the users

After all, a minSdkVersion of 14 would be the best solution. The targetSdkVersion could be 19.

Again, 2 separate branches will be used, one for development and one for staging.
