# Requirements

## Platform

The SDK supports Android 10 and above (`minSdkVersion` 29).

## Development Tools

IMS recommends the following:

* Android Studio Narwhal
* Java 11
* Kotlin 2.x

The SDK may function with other tools or versions, but is only guaranteed to work with the above.

## Language

The SDK is written for Kotlin. Pure Java implementations may work but are not officially supported.

## Play Store Submission

If your app uses background location, Google requires you to [submit a form for review](https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/answer/9799150) before publishing. This applies most commonly when using geofences, activity recognition, or Bluetooth device detection for trip detection.
