Android and iOS applications store local data for caching purposes or offline scenarios using SQLite databases. The SQLite DBMS is part of Android and iOS Operating Systems and its version is defined by Android and iOS Requirements.
Check Apple Requirements and Android Requirements for more information.
There may be additional requirements that depend on the application interoperates with GXflow and whether the security is based on GeneXus Access Manager (GAM).
For those cases, check the Application execution requirements section at GeneXus 18 hardware and software requirements.
