Description

I have a question regarding the Feathering feature's compatibility on Android runtimes.

Based on my tests and your documentation, I’ve observed the following:

API 31+ (Android 12): Feathering works perfectly with Hardware acceleration enabled.

API 30 (Android 11): Feathering does not render, even when Graphics acceleration is set to Hardware and hw.gpu.mode is set to host.

My questions are:

Is API 31 the official minimum requirement for the Feathering feature, or should it technically work on API 30 with the Rive Renderer?

If it is supported on API 30, is there a specific way to force the Rive Renderer to prevent it from falling back to Canvas?
