What This Means

After 15 April 2027, Android SDK 6 is no longer supported. No maintenance or updates will be provided. Continued use is at the customer's own risk.
Why Migrate to Android SDK 7
Android SDK 7 introduces a refactored architecture with improved stability and long-term maintainability. It supports modern Android development standards including updated Gradle and Kotlin requirements, and provides a cleaner API design. For a full overview of what changed, see the Android SDK v7 release announcement.
What You Should Do
Migrate to Android SDK 7 before 15 October 2026. SDK 7 is not backward compatible with SDK 6 and requires code changes.
