“For developers, the focus during the early part of the Beta program is on making sure your current app is compatible with the new platform, and providing early feedback. In the later part of the Beta—but ongoing throughout and beyond it — focus on adopting new features in your app and targeting the new platform,” the cited source reported.*Furthermore, Google is expected to roll out the next Android Q Beta in April and the third one at Google I/O 2019 on May 7.

“Android Q will provide a standard API level at this time. You can begin final compatibility testing of your legacy apps and refine any new code that is using the APIs or features,” the company said. Beta 5 and 6 (release candidates for testing and final testing) are scheduled to hit devices sometime in the third quarter of 2019. Moving ahead, the final one will be released to AOSP and ecosystems. As for the features, Google has improved privacy settings, added support for foldable phones.
