-### Feature
+### Minimum supported Android API
+
+Starting in .NET 11 Preview 3, the minimum supported Android API level has been raised from 21 (Lollipop) to 24 (Nougat). This means that .NET MAUI apps in .NET 11 require Android 7.0 or higher.
+
+If your project explicitly sets `$(SupportedOSPlatformVersion)` to a value lower than 24, you'll need to update it:
+
+```xml
+<PropertyGroup>
+  <SupportedOSPlatformVersion Condition="$([MSBuild]::GetTargetPlatformIdentifier('$(TargetFramework)')) == 'android'">24</SupportedOSPlatformVersion>
+</PropertyGroup>
+```
+
+For more information, see [Supported platforms](~/supported-platforms.md).
