Key changes include mandatory adaptive UI enforcement on large screens (tablets/foldables can no longer opt out of resizability), mandatory ACCESS_LOCAL_NETWORK runtime permission, a new Contact Picker replacing READ_CONTACTS, a 3-hour OTP SMS delay for targeted apps, and background audio restrictions requiring migration from ExoPlayer 2 to Media3. Under the hood, ART gains generational garbage collection, a lock-free MessageQueue implementation, and static final field modification via reflection is now blocked. New APIs include the Handoff API for multi-device state continuity, dynamic camera output surfaces, RAW14 image format, VVC (H.266) video decoding, and Encrypted Client Hello for TLS. Google Play will require API 37 targeting starting August 2027. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
