Timetable, achievements, and updates
Timetable for the Android 13 Preview program
The Android 13 Preview program runs from February 2022 until the last open delivery to AOSP and OEMs, made arrangements for later in the year. At key improvement achievements, we'll convey refreshes for your turn of events and testing conditions. Each update incorporates SDK instruments, framework pictures, emulators, API reference, and API diffs. See the accompanying table to get more familiar with what you ought to zero in on during every achievement.
Timeline Build Type Developer activities
February Developer Preview 1 Early standard form zeroed in on engineer input, with new highlights, APIs, and conduct changes. Priority window for criticism on APIs. Investigate new APIs and conduct changes and report any basic issues or demands to us during this time. Start early application similarity testing.
March Developer Preview 2 Incremental update with extra highlights, APIs, and conduct changes. Continue to send input on conduct changes and APIs. Prepare applications for shopper Beta. Proceed with similarity testing, distribute refreshes without evolving focusing on.
April Beta 1 Initial beta-quality delivery, over-the-air update to early adopters who sign up for Android Beta. Continue similarity testing, watch for input from Android Beta clients. Begin early testing with focusing on Android 13. Advise SDK and library designers of any issues.
May Beta 2 Incremental Beta-quality release Continue similarity testing, watch for criticism from Android Beta clients. Begin early testing with focusing on Android 13. Tell SDK and library engineers of any issues.
Stage Stability
June Beta 3 First Platform Stability achievement. Last APIs and ways of behaving. Play distributing opens. Start last similarity testing for applications, SDKs, and libraries. Discharge viable renditions. Proceed with work to target Android 13. Update SDKs and libraries and advise their engineers of any issues.
July Beta 4 Near-last form for last testing. Release viable renditions of applications, SDKs, and libraries. Proceed with work to target Android 13. Work with new elements and APIs.
Last release Android 13 delivery to AOSP and ecosystem. Release viable forms for applications, SDKs, and libraries. Proceed with work to target Android 13. Work with new highlights and APIs.
Stage Stability achievement
Android 13 incorporates an achievement called Platform Stability to assist you with arranging your last testing and deliveries. This achievement implies that Android 13 has arrived at last interior and outside APIs, last application confronting ways of behaving, and last non-SDK API records (greylists). We anticipate that Android 13 should arrive at Platform Stability at Beta 3 in June 2022. Starting there, you can expect no further changes influencing your applications.
We energize all application, game, SDK, library, and game motor engineers to involve the Platform Stability achievement as an objective for arranging last similarity testing and public delivery. Utilizing Platform Stability rather than definite delivery gives you a few extra weeks before customers can get the new stage on their gadgets.
Note: For SDKs and library engineers, focusing on Platform Stability for conclusive testing is basic. Downstream application and game engineers might be hindered until their packaged SDKs and libraries are refreshed to help Android 13.
Review stages
Each period of the review program assists you with setting up your applications for the steady arrival of AOSP and the Android biological system.
Engineer Previews 1 and 2
During the Developer Previews, you ought to zero in on API criticism and application similarity. Application similarity implies ensuring the ongoing form of your application looks right and runs well on the new stage.
The Developer Preview constructs give an early test and improvement climate you can use to attempt new APIs, distinguish similarity issues in your application, and plan relocation or component work expected to focus on the new stage. Giving us your input during this time is particularly significant. You ought to likewise expect a few API changes with every one of these updates. If it's not too much trouble, survey the relocation guide for steps to make your application viable with the new stage, and afterward focus on the new stage when you're prepared.
Beta 1
Beta 1 gives you a more complete and stable climate for building and testing on Android 13, and it's the main form that we convey to early adopters who are signed up for the Android Beta program. During the Beta deliveries time frame, early adopters will utilize your application on Pixel gadgets, so we suggest looking for input from those clients and delivering viable updates to resolve any issues, without changing the application's focusing on. It's additionally a great opportunity to start getting ready for changing your application's focusing on later.
Beta 2
With Beta 2, you'll get a more complete and stable form for proceeding with your testing and advancement.
Beta 3
Beginning with Beta 3, Android 13 will arrive at Platform Stability, implying that framework ways of behaving and APIs are finished. This is an ideal opportunity to start last testing and advancement work expected to guarantee that a viable rendition of your application will be prepared for clients at the last delivery to the biological system. Android 13 will give a standard API level as of now.
Stage Stability is an ideal opportunity to move concentration to definite similarity testing and delivery your refreshed applications to clients and downstream designers. You can likewise work with the last APIs and refine any code that is utilizing the new APIs or highlights. You can design your work with certainty that the stage and APIs won't change.
From Platform Stability, you'll likewise have the option to distribute applications to gadgets running Android 13 at the authority API level. After Platform Stability, we suggest distributing into the Google Play alpha and beta tracks first so you can test your applications prior to circulating extensively through the store.
Significant: All SDK, library, apparatuses, and game motor designers ought to begin testing at Platform Stability and delivery your viable updates at the earliest opportunity. Your downstream application and game engineers might be obstructed until they accept your updates. Whenever you've delivered a viable update, be vocal and told your designers!
Beta 4
With Beta 4 we'll offer a delivery competitor work for your last testing. At the point when you've gotten done with testing, you ought to deliver viable updates for your applications, SDKs, libraries, apparatuses, and game motors to guarantee that clients who redesign their gadgets around the last delivery have a decent client experience. You can likewise keep on building new usefulness utilizing new highlights and APIs and test your application while focusing on the most recent API level to find gives that could emerge.
Last delivery
The steady variant of Android 13 is delivered to AOSP and the more noteworthy Android environment. You ought to expect that a portion of your clients will refresh to Android 13 as of now or presently as gadget producers begin to deliver refreshes for their clients.
