API 16 is the lowest version of Android that is officially supported by Xamarin.Android. In most cases, this restriction is only presented as a build warning. Recent changes to use Google's [manifest merger tool][0] have however surfaced a new error in projects which use the support libraries and specify a minSdkVersion lower than API 14. These projects should be updated to use a minSdkVersion of 16 to avoid both this new error, and the existing warning about using an unsupported minimum SDK version. [0]: dotnet/android@2c6f5cd
