I don’t like to test apk on this type website… I have Google ABD Emulator for better testing result…
In My Case:
Beta Apk Runing on Android 7 without any issues, I’m share the demo video check my top message. But i haven’t try on it Android 5…
Thanks for Update and decreasing APK size. But apps are still crashing in Android 7.1 .I tested in beta. The blank project working OK, But when i drag basic components (without creating blocks) then APK is crashing. I could not find any reason.
testing3.aia (22.6 KB). Please solve it.
Any progress?
I hope, it may be fixed soon
@Poonam_Rani did you checked beta?
Sorry for very late reply.
Yes Before above post I check in beta specially. In builder.niotron even blank app are not opening (below android 8.0). But in beta blank app is opening very well, But when i dragged some common components without any extension (like:label, buttons, arrangements, cardview, exoplayer and clock ), then same problem occurred even without creating blocks.
But now apps are not building from 3-4 days in beta. I am facing this error while building apk in beta:
I guess this may be due to development process.
But as answer of you question => Yes I check in beta, and apps are not working below android 8.0

I tried it with an almost empty app (just one button, no extensions). The APK is larger than 8MB and I get this abstruse Manifest (the app does not install on Android < 6 and crashes on Android 7):

On the Beta server I get this Manifest with the same app (empty project, only 1 button):

The APK is now 6.7MB:
I would also like to know what this line is doing in the Manifest: 
<permission android:name="com.niotron.bodymindpower.emptyApp.DYNAMIC_RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED_PERMISSION" android:protectionLevel="signature"/>
APK does not crash on Android 7.x and opens (works) also on Android < 7.
The minSdkVersion on the main server is 19 (KitKat) and on the Beta server 21 (Lollipop).
We are using a different build system on the Beta Server which produces smaller APK’s but its pretty resource intensive so we’re optimizing it and allocating server resources before pushing to main.

Seems to be related to androidx.appcompat:appcompat library, which is added in all apps by default.

Hmm, I’ve never seen this line in any APK (build with AI2 or Kodular). Doesn’t AI2 use this library and why is access needed to a BroadcastReceiver?
As a innocent coder question: Where is the update? Where is the solution? Where do we seek justice? 
Even the creators of Builder don’t know that millions of downloaded apps developer await their updates
