Qt for Android usually supports a wide range of Android versions, some very old. To keep the supported versions to a level that’s maintainable by Qt, especially for LTS releases which are expected to live for three years, Qt for Android is adopting new guidelines for selecting the supported versions for a given Qt release in the hope that this effort would make the selection clear and transparent, and help shape proper expectations of support for each Qt for Android release.

Qt for Android通常支持各种各样的Android版本，有些非常旧。为了将支持的版本保持在Qt可维护的水平，特别是对于预计将持续三年的LTS版本，Qt for Android正在采用新的指导方针来选择给定Qt版本的支持版本，希望这项工作能够使选择清晰透明，并有助于形成对每个Qt for Android版本支持的适当期望。

We will be evaluating the need for minimum version changes once a year for the fall release of Qt, which also cover LTS releases. The aim is to cover at least 90% of the cumulative usage in the market as listed on apilevels.com around one month before the platform freeze deadline. Version changes due to technical reasons such as versions required for new features or APIs would still apply. The changes would take effect on the build system level as well, meaning trying to target older versions, while could still work with personal builds, it would fall outside of Qt's official support scope.

​我们将每年评估一次Qt秋季版本的最低版本更改需求，其中也包括LTS版本。目标是在平台冻结截止日期前一个月左右，覆盖apilevels.com上列出的市场累计使用量的至少90%。由于技术原因（如新功能或API所需的版本）导致的版本更改仍将适用。这些更改也将在构建系统级别生效，这意味着尝试针对旧版本，虽然仍然可以用于个人构建，但它将不在Qt的官方支持范围内。

For the maximum supported version, for every spring Qt release, we aim to support an Android version which was released by Google in the fall of the year before.

对于最大支持版本，对于每个春季Qt版本，我们的目标是支持谷歌在前一年秋天发布的Android版本。

In the scope of the Qt 6.8 release, these changes would imply the minimum supported version is Android 9 and the maximum is Android 14.

在Qt 6.8版本的范围内，这些变化意味着支持的最低版本是Android 9，最高版本是Android 14。

The full guidelines are detailed also under the Qt for Android Versions Selection Guidelines documentation page, any future changes to the guidelines will be incorporated there.
