We have apps at Meta that use React Native and are targeting a min SDK of 24. As such, we probably won't be removing support for them for quite a while. The min SDK is just a suggestion, if your library is only targeting newer versions then that's fine if the app authors are also on a newer min SDK |

Summary:
The last time the minSdk was bumped (to 24), the cumulative distribution percentage of supported versions (≥ API 24) was 97.4%, according to this screenshot. Based on the current percentages, if we bump the minSdk to 27, the cumulative distribution percentage of supported versions will be 97.6%.
If you are OK with it, this could help library authors and allow deletion of legacy code.
Changelog:
[ANDROID] [BREAKING] - Bump Android minSdkVersion from 24 to 27
Test Plan:
@RequiresApiannotations targeting APIs 24-26 have been removed, as they are now guaranteed by the new minSdk.
