the online version is always the latest version
create your app as always in App Inventor, build it and then modify the apk file to set the minimum sdk to a value of your choice and test on your test device

How to edit the minimum SDK in AndroidManifest? Do I need to put some extra XML stuff?

<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android" ... >
    <uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="7" android:targetSdkVersion="35" />
    ...
</manifest>
