App Inventor Which is the best OS to choose in Android Studio?

[Gleis]

Hey guys!
I was just wondering, which is the best OS to choose when opening a new project in Android Studio?
Is there any other difference, except for the numbers of users using that specific operating system?
And which one you recommend me use?
Editied : OS=Minimum API level

Thanks

Can you define OP?

Sorry, I mean the Minimum API level
But since it is an operating system version I didn't call it that way.

Older/lower API levels will allow more (older) devices to use your app. Newer/higher API levels will let your app use newer features.

As of August, Google will only allow new apps in Google Play which target API level 29 - but there's no restriction on the minimum API level your app can support. But maintaining support for older API levels can get complicated.

So you need to find a happy medium among supporting a wide variety of devices (older API level), enabling the newest platform features (higher API level), and simplifying maintenance of your code base (that is, supporting a limited number of older API levels).

Configuring your app to target a recent API level ensures that users can benefit from these improvements, while still allowing it to run on older Android versions.
How can I do that?

You're going to need an actual developer to answer that question, I'm afraid.

Well, thanks a lot for your help!!
I'm a newbie app dev , and when I finish all the tutorials that I have in plan to watch, I will start building my own app that in the time talking its almost done designing. Until that time comes I won't get deeper into this stuff .
But if anyone wants to answer the question , please do it
