From where appium server gets platform version

[vnvbsudhakar]

I am new to this group and this is my first query. If i am selecting any wrong options please kindly educate me.
I configured JDK, Android SDK, Downloaded few platforms like 18, 21, 22 and 23 using sdk manager, Installed appium and setup is fine.
When I start Appium server I get to see {"address":"127.0.0.1","logNoColors":true,"platformName":"Android","platformVersion":"23","automationName":"Appium"}
My question is from where appium server gets the "platformVersion":"23"

It picks from the default settings configured to appium server. If you are using GUI based Appium server, click on Android Settings tab at the top. You will see default settings.

You will override these values when you create the driver for your tests. IDeally we use Android version value - ex : 4.4, 5.0.1, 6.1 etc]
