Can't select desired minimum API level for Android build!
Hello,
I am trying to build an apk with minimum API level 16. However, I am using Unity 2019.3 and the minimum API available in the list is 19. I have installed the SDK for 16 from android studio and it still doesn't show in the list.
I tried downgrading to Unity 2019.2 and I can see API level 16 but that messes up the project, with missing UnityEngine.UI namespace.
My question is, can I force a minimum API level in Unity 2019.3, without downgrading the unity version? I tried in the manifest but the end result is still 19.
Thanks guys.

Edit: unity doesnt support api levels below 19 https://docs.unity3d.com/ScriptReference/AndroidSdkVersions.html An older thread https://stackoverflow.com/questions/51508809/why-i-cant-select-minimum-android-api-level-15-from-minimum-api-level-dropdown
