I have been using WebView.setPluginsEnabled() and targetSdkVersion 17 in my app(already in playstore). Now, I am about to release it's updated version with some new features. I have set the targetSdkVersion 19 but I have compiled it successfully with android build target 4.2.2. I have verified on various versions and the build runs fine. Is there any case or concern in releasing this build ?
I have already referred the following link: setPluginsEnabled not exist for WebView

Starting in version 19 (4.4 - Kit Kat), Web Views have been updated to use chrome for their base. This can have different behavior to the old style webview. So you should test with a 4.4 device (or emulator...).
So anything below 19 uses the old webview and 19 and above uses the chrome based webview
