Describe the bug

Running the app with amplify SDK V2.14.13 on Android OS version 7 and 7.1 devices immediately crashes.

The documentation https://docs.amplify.aws/android/start/project-setup/prerequisites/ specifies android 7.0 or later.

Does the amplify SDK only support Android 8.0 and above, contrary to what the guide documentation says?
If not, could you please revise it to support from android 7.0 onwards?

(https://developer.android.com/reference/java/time/Duration says that the Duration class was added as of API level 26.)

Reproduction steps (if applicable)

1. Run the app with the amplify SDK V2.14.13 on top of an android 7.0 or 7.1 device.
2. It crashes immediately.

Hi @cojobs. Amplify (and its dependencies) use Java 8 features, so if your minimum SDK is below 26 you need to enable core library desugaring for your app. This is covered in the install Amplify libraries section of the docs.

Here's an example:

// build.gradle.kts
android {
    compileOptions {
        isCoreLibraryDesugaringEnabled = true
    }
}

dependencies {
    coreLibraryDesugaring("com.android.tools:desugar_jdk_libs:2.0.4")
}

This should resolve your issue. Please let us know if you have any other questions.
