Thanks, we'll have no issues with this min version 👍

This is going to be problematic for VisionCamera though, as multiple pieces of the codebase rely on minSdk 26:

• VideoPipeline: The entire video pipeline will not work anymore if not running on minSdk 26. Video recordings and Frame Processing will error out then.
• Creating a session: I need to add workarounds there as I use an API from SDK 24.
• HDR: The entire HDR pipeline needs to be disabled on <26.

Yeah, sorry to be a pain about the min-supported version.

I get that most people don't care about this and would much rather take the newer features. In our case though I'm not sure it's a trade-off worth making. I also wouldn't want us to be the sole reason for having to drop lib features, so maybe we should just seek an alternative? Let me know what you think
