StreetComplete is an easy to use editor of OpenStreetMap data available for Android. It can be used without any OpenStreetMap-specific knowledge. It asks simple questions, with answers directly used to edit and improve OpenStreetMap data. The app is aimed at users who do not know anything about OSM tagging schemes but still want to contribute to OpenStreetMap.

Key changes in this release:

  • Android below 7.1 no longer supported
  • Main screen improvements
  • New overlays
  • New quests
  • Quest and Overlay improvements
  • General Improvements

If you patch your own OS, you can also build the app yourself with the lower target.

That means the app still technically supports lower targets and the deprecation is meaningless.

I'm not saying it'll work. I don't know if the app does anything that necessitates the higher version requirement. It may work perfectly, it may not work at all, or it may work with some things bugging out/crashing. All I'm saying is if you know how to patch your OS, rebuilding the app with a changed target is not going to be very difficult.

My bet is that as of today, recompiling the app with nothing changed except a reduced version requirement will probably work fine. However, over time as features are added or rewritten, it'll get progressively harder to maintain that A7 patch.

Now that is something I can agree with.
