Initially available on Nexus 5X, Nexus 6P, and Pixel C devices, we’ll extend the Developer Preview to other devices in November. We’ve opened up publishing on Google Play for apps targeting the new API level, so you can update your apps soon as you are ready.Īfter the initial preview release, we plan to deliver an update in November followed by the final public release to the Android Open Source Project (AOSP) in December.We’ve finalized the new APIs as API Level 25.The goal is to tease out any device-specific issues. Since 7.1 has already launched on Pixel, we’re delivering the initial Developer Preview at beta quality for the Nexus lineup of devices.We’re continuing the model we used in N and earlier releases, and with Android 7.1 being an incremental release there are a few differences to highlight: It includes an updated SDK and tools, documentation and samples, as well as emulators and device system images for running your apps on supported devices. The Android 7.1 Developer Preview gives you everything you need to test your app on the new platform or extend it with new features like app shortcuts and image keyboard support.

If your device is already enrolled, you'll receive the update automatically. To get the 7.1 release on your eligible device, enroll your device in the Android Beta program. You can get started with this new release today by downloading the SDK and tools. A couple of weeks ago we announced that a developer preview of Android 7.1 Nougat was on the way.
