    Officially Supported Versions

    The requirements listed below are for the Java/Kotlin SDK on Android.

    If you’re developing with the C/C++ SDK on Android, the minimum API Level is 24. For C/C++ SDK requirements, see Couchbase Lite for C - Android Requirements.

    The operating systems listed in Table 1 are certified Android versions. Couchbase does not test against, nor guarantee support for, uncertified Android versions such as versions built from source.

    Bluetooth Transport Requirements

    Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) transport for the Multipeer Replicator requires Android API 29 (Android 10) or later, due to the availability of BLE L2CAP support on that API level.

    Devices running API 24—​28 can still use Couchbase Lite with all non-Bluetooth features, including Wi-Fi-based Multipeer replication. If your application targets API 24—​28, do not include .bluetooth in your MultipeerReplicatorConfiguration.transports set.

    Feature Requirements

    Some features require a greater minimum API level than the general CBL requirement.
