[QGIS-Developer] plugin metatada from zip

[matteo]

Hi all,

it seems to me that the qgisMinimumVersion in the metadata.txt file is 
NOT taken into account when the plugin is delivered with a zip file.

I've developed a Processing Plugin and set the minimum version to 3.16 
but I'm able to install it (through the zip file installation) in a 3.10 
QGIS.

Is the qgisMinimumVersion taken into account only when installing a 
plugin with the "standard" installer?

Cheers

Matteo
