Target the level you need

An Android application targets an API level: the set of platform behaviors and APIs it compiles and runs against. Saphira holds the SDK platform for the level your project declares, added through the recipe system, so the build resolves against the platform you intend rather than a default you did not choose.

Platforms follow the package stream

The tools above are published and installable now. SDK platform API levels arrive through the same package stream; the packages page lists which levels are available, and the build resolves against the platform your project declares.
