Downgrade minSdkVersion

[jared-94]

The official minSdkVersion from latest React Native (0.81.1) framework is 24
https://github.com/facebook/react-native/blob/main/packages/react-native/ReactAndroid/src/main/AndroidManifest.xml

Compiling with react-native-vlc-media-player (which is configured with minSdkVersion =26) leads to a Manifest merger error.

Manifest merger failed : uses-sdk:minSdkVersion 24 cannot be smaller than version 26 declared in library [:react-native-vlc-media-player] D:\Info\myApp\node_modules\react-native-vlc-media-player\android\build\intermediates\merged_manifest\debug\processDebugManifest\AndroidManifest.xml as the library might be using APIs not available in 24
        Suggestion: use a compatible library with a minSdk of at most 24,
                or increase this project's minSdk version to at least 26,
                or use tools:overrideLibrary="com.yuanzhou.vlc" to force usage (may lead to runtime failures)

Thus, it would be nice to downgrade to 24.

Thanks

I am getting the same error as well.
