If you do not declare this attribute, then a value of "1" is assumed, which
indicates that your application is compatible with all versions of Android. If your
application is <em>not</em> universally compatible (for instance if it uses APIs
introduced in Android 1.5) and you have not declared the proper <code>minSdkVersion</code>,
then when installed on a system with a lower API Level, the application
will crash during runtime. For this reason, be certain to declare the appropriate API Level
application is <em>not</em> compatible with all versions (for instance, it uses APIs
introduced in API Level 3) and you have not declared the proper <code>minSdkVersion</code>,
then when installed on a system with an API Level less than 3, the application will crash
during runtime when attempting to access the unavailable APIs. For this reason,
be certain to declare the appropriate API Level
in the <code>minSdkVersion</code> attribute.</p>
