This is the same minimum we have on the zulip-mobile RN app.

We've had it at the Flutter default of 19, aka Android 4.4 KitKat. But we're now beginning to bump into the need for "multidex" support:
https://docs.flutter.dev/deployment/android#enabling-multidex-support
at least in debug builds. The simplest way to do that is to have minSdkVersion at 21 or higher; which is a good prompt for us to bump it to the version we were going to want to bump it to anyway.

Specifically, when reviewing #317 today I got the error described in (and linking to) that piece of documentation.
