Android Things Developer Preview 4.1


Posted by Wayne Piekarski,
Developer Advocate for IoT


Today, we're releasing a new Developer Preview 4.1 (DP4.1) of href="https://developer.android.com/things/index.html">Android Things, with
updates for new supported hardware and bug fixes to the platform. Android Things
is Google's platform to enable Android Developers to create Internet of Things
(IoT) devices, and seamlessly scale from prototype to production.


New hardware



A new Pico i.MX6UL revision B board has been released, which supports many
common external peripherals from partners such as Adafruit and Pimoroni. There
were some prototype Pico i.MX6UL boards made available to some early beta
testers, and these are not compatible with DP4.1.


Improvements



DP4.1 also includes some performance improvements since DP4, such as boot time
optimizations that improve the startup time of i.MX7D based hardware. This
Developer Preview also includes a version of Google Play Services, specifically
optimized for IoT devices. This new IoT variant is a lot smaller and optimized
for use with Android Things, and requires the use of play-services 11.0.0 or
later in your build.gradle. For more information about the supported features in
the IoT variant of Google Play Services, see the href="http://developers.android.com/things/sdk/index.html#google-services">information
page.


Google I/O



Android Things had a large presence at Google I/O this year, with 7 talks
covering different aspects of Android Things for developers, and these are
available as videos in a href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLOU2XLYxmsIIUtQeTRlRoDCdncUpWnR4M">playlist

Posted by Sameer Samat, VP, Product Management Helping developers build sustainable businesses is a core part of Google Play’s mission. We work with partners every day to understand the challenges they face and help them bring their innovative ideas to life. Getting a new app off the ground and into orbit is not easy! To aid their quest for growth we provide a broad range of support, from powerful marketing tools and actionable data in the Play Console , education via Play Academy , "> best practices and thought leadership resources, programs such as the Indie Games Festival , Indie Corner , and accelerator programs around the world. We’re always looking for new ways to give them an added boost. Starting on July 1, 2021 we are reducing the service fee Google Play receives when a developer sells digital goods or services to 15% for the first $1M (USD) of revenue every developer earns each year. With this change, 99% of developers globally that sell digital goods and servic...
