Title: Android N
Post by: derrikn on April 27, 2016, 12:34:23 am

Are there any plans to update the Android app to support version N? When I try to run the Almond app now, I get to a login screen then I get a message saying "Almond has Stopped".

@ derrikn,

Android N is still in the Beta stage and almost every app could crash and may not work properly until the public release with bug free version is released. From our side, we would always ensure that our app works with latest public release of Android OS.

Beta 3 is now out, and recommended for daily use. Local sync appears to work but logging in to the cloud service crashes the app.

While I realize you can't support beta operating systems, the whole point to the beta is so that developers can test their applications against the next version of the OS and have most of their issues worked out by the time the final release happens.

And that's why App developers have Beta as well.

Feel free to join the Beta team to work beta related issues.  8)

As a counterpoint, life is too short to develop against unstable APIs. ;)

I've seen too many things break between the final developer version and the RTM version. OS companies lately seem to treat a "release" as a feature freeze, like a beta before Google ruined the term. As a result, I know plenty of companies that won't even start testing on a new OS until it gets released. Until Apple, Google, and Microsoft start producing more stable (in the API sense) releases, I can't say I blame them.
