compatibility

Hi all,

I just published my first application to the market, but i just found out that android.telephony.gsm.smsmanager was depreciated as of Android 1.6. My application depends on sending SMS messages, so it cannot not work in 1.6 or newer.

I built the project against 1.5, but I only have a device with 1.5 to test on. Since I built on 1.5, am I fine in terms of newer OSes, or will users get force closes?

Thanks in advance!

P.S. Is there a way to send/receive SMS messages in the emulator? That would be helpful.
