## 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](https://docs.mapp.com/docs/en/mapp-engage-android-sdk-v7-released).

## 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.
