What did you do?

I am trying to build a go mobile example app and deploy it to android device with command
gomobile build -target=android -androidapi 23 golang.org/x/mobile/example/basic

What did you see happen?

I see an error about minimal sdk version too low. Android device report that I am using sdk 16 not sdk I mentioned in build parameters
The issue is discussed here in great detail #52470

What did you expect to see?

I expect apk to install flawlesly.

Can i help you ? im interrested

[igadmg]

@vincent-alxr here is my patch for that https://github.com/igadmg/mobile/compare/master...igadmg:mobile:fix-android-minsdk-usage-in-binres?expand=1
But I am no sure if that is all needed. Because my personal patches which I use to bundle my current project are here
https://github.com/igadmg/mobile/compare/master...igadmg:mobile:master_patched?expand=1

It contains MinSDK fix and also some fixes. fix in gendex.go may be important. But some .aar related code may be not and need to be removed.

Can someone look into this?
