Kotlin M1 Mac

Backward Compatibility The Android SDK is by default forward compatible but not backward compatible — this means that an app that is built with and supports a minimum SDK version of 3.0 can be installed on any device running Android versions 3.0 and upwards — but not on devices running Android versions below 3.0.

Kotlin is fully compatible with JDK 6 , is supported in the Android Studio and compatible with the Android build system. Apps written in Kotlin are more productive than Java apps.
