Upcoming posts will cover on-device debugging with JDWP, JUnit 5 support, new platform APIs (WiFi, OIDC/WebAuthn passkeys, AI/LLM client), and build-time code generation including a declarative router, SQLite ORM, JSON/XML mapper, and SVG/Lottie transcoder. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
