new SDK version (4.1.7) and new firmware, will it cause problem?

Good day.

I would like to ask some technical information about the new SDK version (4.1.7).

I have applications written in CIQ that work without issue. I run into problems by switching the SDK to a new version, to avoid this I turned off the check like this:

project.typecheck = 0

The question is, now I'm using the new SDK (4.1.7) and everything works as it should, but what if Garmin releases a different firmware (CIQ 5), does aplkication stop working for me, or does it

depend on the minSDK"" parameter in the manifests. xml file?

Thanks for the replies and advice.

Actually, it depends on neither. What you built should continue to run as-is. Let's say a device gets a 3.4 VM and you built for a 3.2, It should still run fine. minSDK/minAPI is just a minimum. The 4.1.7 SDK can be used to build apps for any device that supports CIQ, but different devices run different versions of CIQ. Don't confuse the SDK version with a device's CIQ level.
