Android builds will honor the `ANDROID_API_LEVEL` environment variable to set the
minimum supported [API level](https://developer.android.com/tools/releases/platforms)
for generated wheels. This will default to the minimum API level of the selected Python
version.
If the [`repair-wheel-command`](options.md#repair-wheel-command) adds any libraries to
the wheel, then `ANDROID_API_LEVEL` must be at least 24. This is already the default
when building for Python 3.14 and later, but you may need to set it when building for
Python 3.13.

devices](https://dl.google.com/android/studio/metadata/distributions.json), and is the first
version to support RUNPATH, which auditwheel needs in order to graft external libraries.
