Not quite true. Handling WiFi changed in 5, and changed again in 6 (really only relevant if your app deals with changing the Wifi state, admittedly). 6 introduced Doze, which can require different implementations of things. There were a number of graphical things in 5 which, if you wanted them on earlier versions (and your Design department does, and you're going to do it, dammit), require fairly different implementations.

Which things are these? And since generally there's a lot of effort to not break old apps, why wouldn't you just do it the pre-5 way?
Also, just to check, we're talking about versions and not API level, right?
