Key updates include a streamlined passkey user experience, improvements to Credential Manager APIs, and the deprecation of WebSQL. Developers should begin testing their apps and update SDKs for compatibility using Android Studio Koala. Pixel device users can enroll for beta updates over-the-air or use the Android Emulator for testing. ## Content # Android 15 Beta 3 Reaches Platform Stability with Key Enhancements Google has officially released the third beta of Android 15, achieving a significant milestone known as Platform Stability. This marks the finalization of developer APIs and app-facing behaviors, allowing developers to begin extensive app testing and preparation for the official rollout. ## Key Updates in Android 15 Beta 3 ### Streamlined Passkey User Experience The third beta introduces a more streamlined and user-friendly passkey interface, making it easier for users to perform single-step sign-ins. This enhancement is part of Google's broader effort to improve the overall user experience in Android 15. ### Credential Manager Improvements Developers will notice updates to the Credential Manager APIs, which are geared towards providing better support for credential storage and management. These updates are crucial for ensuring smooth and secure authentication processes within apps. ### Deprecation of WebSQL With this beta release, Google has announced the deprecation of WebSQL support. Developers are encouraged to migrate to more modern and secure alternatives such as localStorage, sessionStorage, or SQLite Wasm. This move aims to enhance security and performance across Android applications. ## Recommendations for Developers To take full advantage of the new features and ensure compatibility, developers should begin testing their applications on Android 15 using the latest version of Android Studio Koala. They are also advised to update their SDKs and libraries as necessary. Developers with supported Pixel devices can enroll these devices to receive beta updates over-the-air. Alternatively, the Android Emulator in Android Studio can be used for testing purposes. ## Looking Ahead While Android 15 is nearing its final release, the competitive landscape also sees iOS 18 entering its developer beta phase. This marks an exciting period for mobile OS advancements, with both Google and Apple introducing significant changes and improvements to their respective platforms. ## Similar posts on daily.dev - [Don’t just attend KubeCon \+ CloudNativeCon, Merge Forward your experience\!](https://daily.dev/posts/don-t-just-attend-kubecon-cloudnativecon-merge-forward-your-experience--l0rpp73x8) · CNCF · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [Announcing H2 2026 KCDs](https://daily.dev/posts/announcing-h2-2026-kcds-m96goajm1) · CNCF · 1 upvotes · 0 comments - [Two months of Open Community Groups](https://daily.dev/posts/two-months-of-open-community-groups-asf52zhbs) · CNCF · 0 upvotes · 0 comments - [CNCF Unveils Schedule for KubeCon \+ CloudNativeCon Europe 2026](https://daily.dev/posts/cncf-unveils-schedule-for-kubecon-cloudnativecon-europe-2026-ikhcoa5cb) · CNCF · 2 upvotes · 0 comments - [CNCF Debuts KubeCon \+ CloudNativeCon Japan 2026 Schedule](https://daily.dev/posts/cncf-debuts-kubecon-cloudnativecon-japan-2026-schedule-xp5pyudub) · CNCF · 1 upvotes · 0 comments --- Tags: [#google](https://daily.dev/tags/google), [#mobile](https://daily.dev/tags/mobile), [#android](https://daily.dev/tags/android) [View this post on daily.dev](https://daily.dev/posts/android-15-beta-3-achieves-platform-stability-what-s-new-and-how-to-test-your-apps-nlsyjakdg) ```json {"@context":"https://schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Organization","@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization","name":"daily.dev","url":"https://daily.dev","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://daily.dev/apple-touch-icon.png","width":180,"height":180},"sameAs":["https://twitter.com/dailydotdev","https://github.com/dailydotdev","https://www.linkedin.com/company/daily-dev-ltd"]},{"@type":"WebSite","@id":"https://daily.dev/#website","url":"https://daily.dev","name":"daily.dev","publisher":{"@id":"https://daily.dev/#organization"},"potentialAction":{"@type":"SearchAction","target":{"@type":"EntryPoint","urlTemplate":"https://daily.dev/search?q={search_term_string}"},"query-input":"required name=search_term_string"}}]} {"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"TechArticle","headline":"Android 15 Beta 3 Achieves Platform Stability: What's New and How to Test Your Apps","url":"https://daily.dev/posts/android-15-beta-3-achieves-platform-stability-what-s-new-and-how-to-test-your-apps-nlsyjakdg","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://daily.dev/posts/android-15-beta-3-achieves-platform-stability-what-s-new-and-how-to-test-your-apps-nlsyjakdg"},"datePublished":"2024-06-18T19:25:49.878Z","dateModified":"2024-06-19T15:34:14.194Z","description":"Google has released Android 15 Beta 3, marking Platform Stability and the finalization of developer APIs.
