I know that Mono on Android only officially supports Android 1.6 and above, but I was wondering if anyone had any experience or tips for trying to get it to work on Android 1.5?

I’ve tried manually changing the manifest sdk version (even inside the sdk itself), but when I try to install the app, all I get is an unsupported SDK version.

Note that I understand that officially Mono on Android does not support 1.6, but I’m looking for an [unsupported/experimental/hack] way to do it. I’d even settle for a generic apk sdk version change, but my google-fu could not find such a program (and who knows if it would even work with Mono).

    Answering my own question in case anyone else tries it.

    Mono on Android looks for a android.content.Context.getApplicationInfo, which was added in 1.6, so it seems that it’s not possible to run Mono on Android on Android lower than 1.6.
