# End of Support and End of Life

Mapp Android SDK v6 has entered its retirement phase and will be phased out according to the timeline described on this page. Android SDK v7 is the current strategic Android SDK and is recommended for all new implementations and migrations.

## Support Timeline

| Milestone | Date |
| --- | --- |
| End of Support (EoS) | 15 October 2026 |
| End of Life (EoL) | 15 April 2027 |

**End of Support — 15 October 2026** After this date, support for Android SDK 6 is limited. Non-critical fixes will no longer be provided, and no new compatibility commitments will be made.

**End of Life — 15 April 2027** After this date, Android SDK 6 is no longer supported. No maintenance or updates will be provided. Continued use is at the customer's own risk.

## Affected Implementations

This lifecycle applies to the following Android-based implementations:

- Mapp Android SDK: v6.1.3 and earlier in the Android 6 line
- Mapp React Native plugin: versions depending on Android SDK 6
- Mapp Flutter plugin: versions depending on Android SDK 6

## What You Should Do

Migrate to Android SDK v7 before 15 October 2026. Android SDK v7 is not backward compatible with SDK v6 and requires code changes. Review your current implementation and dependencies, and validate your setup in a test environment before upgrading.

If you are unsure which SDK or plugin version you are using, contact your Mapp representative or support team.

## Migration to Android SDK v7

A migration guide is available: [Migrating from Android SDK v6 to v7](https://docs.mapp.com/docs/en/migrating-from-engage-android-sdk-v6-to-v7)

The guide covers required code changes, breaking changes and behavioral differences, and testing and validation recommendations.
