latest Syncfusion and Android 8.1

Question

Can the latest syncfusion release support android 8.1? I was developing for 9.0 but found out that my app needs to target 8.1. Is this possible? This is what I get when trying to compile for Android 8.1:

The $(TargetFrameworkVersion) for Syncfusion.Buttons.XForms.Android (v9.0) is greater than the $(TargetFrameworkVersion) for your project (v8.1). You need to increase the $(TargetFrameworkVersion) for your project.

The $(TargetFrameworkVersion) for Syncfusion.Core.XForms.Android (v9.0) is greater than the $(TargetFrameworkVersion) for your project (v8.1). You need to increase the $(TargetFrameworkVersion) for your project.

The $(TargetFrameworkVersion) for Syncfusion.Expander.XForms.Android (v9.0) is greater than the $(TargetFrameworkVersion) for your project (v8.1). You need to increase the $(TargetFrameworkVersion) for your project.

The $(TargetFrameworkVersion) for Syncfusion.SfListView.XForms.Android (v9.0) is greater than the $(TargetFrameworkVersion) for your project (v8.1). You need to increase the $(TargetFrameworkVersion) for your project.

Thanks

Hi David, 

Thanks for using Syncfusion Products. 

The mentioned issue occurs because of Xamarin.Forms dependency update in our SfExpander control, we have upgraded Xamarin.Forms dependency version of SfExpander to 3.6.0.344457 in our 17.2.0.46 version (2019 Volume 2 – SP1 release). For using this Syncfusion update or later versions, you must have to upgrade Xamarin.Forms dependency in your project to Xamarin.Forms 3.6.0.344457 or higher and also needs to set the Android project target version as 9.0 to resolve this issue.   

We have mentioned the same as breaking changes in our release notes, you can refer from the following location. 
https://help.syncfusion.com/xamarin/release-notes/v17.2.0.46?type=all#common-breaking-changes   
 
Please find the documentation regarding target framework version,   
https://help.syncfusion.com/xamarin/installation-and-upgrade/system-requirements#target-framework-compile-sdk-version-for-android     
 
please let us know if  you would require further assistance.
