What is an operating system version number?
A version number is a unique set of numbers representing the specific release of an operating system.
The Android version number follows the format of major.minor.patch. For example, here's what each component in 13.3.1 means:
13 is the major version; 3 is the minor version; 1 is the patch version.

Understanding Android SDK versions
For Android operating systems, we reference SDK/API levels rather than version names. For example, each Android version has a corresponding SDK/API level:
Android 13 corresponds to SDK version 33
Android 12 corresponds to SDK version 31-32
Android 11 corresponds to SDK version 30
If you want to require your team's devices to run Android 13 or later, enter "33.0.0" in the Device Security Posture Monitor Operating System Version field.
