AAPT: error: <adaptive-icon> elements require a sdk version of at least 26

hello sir you can clearly see the errors in the image. it comes after i run my app only after when i paste an photo in this app. i’m learning kotlin
AAPT: error: elements require a sdk version of at least 26. please give me suggestion to fix it.

Hi Krishan, I received the exact same message in the Build log. I’m working on the project called “Unquote” provided by Codecademy for learning how to build Android apps. I’ve parsed the Internet for clues and have either tried everything that I saw, or lacked the depth of knowledge of Gradle to properly apply them.

I hope a Gradle Genius sees this and can help out!
