Research direction

No file or test is named in the issue. Start by locating the Android build configuration that sets the library's current target API level of 27, then check the project's build and compatibility requirements. Done means the target level is updated to 29 and the project still builds successfully.

Description

Hi,

Is there a reason for not targeting the API level 29?

We've experienced a problem with Samsung devices where the clock was behaving strangely (Felt like displaying random times). I tried to make detailed logging by forking the library and adding the modules to our project. Then we realized that we couldn't get the logs from Samsung device with API level 29. I only managed the logs working by targeting API level 29. We are still not sure if the original problem is solved of course.

There I was wondering why the library is targeting API level 27 and whether we can do anything about it or not.
