@robbiefowler ... I will review and update the composer.json "require" section shortly

@robbiefowler ... did you install magento using composer?

Magento seem to be using the same php requirement as this module see https://github.com/magento/magento2/blob/develop/composer.json#L11

[robbiefowler]

yes I ran the command composer require magepal/magento2-gmailsmtpapp and got the error as above. It would not install. I have installed it manually but having block ports issues so not sure if it will work

Since Magento technically don't support 7.1.2.0, removing the php requirement or adding this new version can only cause more harm than good (in term of me support this module).

One quick solution would be to fork this module and update the compose.json

composer config repositories.MyRepoHere-gmailsmtpapp git git@github.com:MyRepoHere/magento2-gmailsmtpapp.git

composer require MyRepoHere/magento2-gmailsmtpapp:master
