Is it possible to change Android min API version on Bare Workflow?

Hi,

I’m trying to understand some things about Bare workflow vs Managed workflow and a question came up. The minimum supported OS versions is listed as a limitation of the managed workflow, so can I change it to API 16 in bare workflow if I’m using React Native 0.63.x, for example?

If yes, wouldn’t it conflict with some Expo code?

I never ejected an Expo app so I don’t know the impacts of it. Thank you for the attention.
