Android 7.0 Nougat Developer Preview 5 erschienen

Aktuell scheint wieder die Zeit der Testversionen zu sein. Neben der neuen iOS 10 Beta ist gestern Abend auch die neueste und wahrscheinlich letzte Developer Preview von Android 7.0 Nougat veröffentlicht worden. Es ist bereits das fünfte Release der Beta.

Das neue Build hat die Nummer NPD90G und kommt wieder mit ein paar Bugfixes und Verbesserungen in den Bereichen Performance und Stabilität um die Ecke. Wer sich noch nicht zum Test angemeldet hat, kann dies auf der Seite des Android Beta Programms tun. Dazu benötigt ihr jedoch eines der unterstützten Geräte, also ein Nexus oder das Sony Xperia Z3. Ist das der Fall könnt ihr hier die Android N Images oder hier die OTA Files beziehen und auf das Gerät spulen. Viel Spaß damit!

Stability
Users may encounter system instability (such as kernel panics and crashes).
Multi-window
MapView may be blank when resized in multi-window mode and not focused.
Camera
Apps may encounter Intermittent issues recording and playing back video at 240fps.
Do Not Disturb
Do Not Disturb mode may be set at device reboot. To work around the issue, delete the existing rule for VR as follows: go to Settings > Sound > Do not disturb > Automatic Rules and tap the trash icon next to the VR rule.
Screen zoom and multiple APKs in Google Play
On devices running Developer Preview 5, Google Play services 9.0.83 incorrectly reports the current screen density rather than the stable screen density. When screen zoom is enabled on these devices, this can cause Google Play to select a version of a multi-APK app that’s designed for smaller screens. This issue is fixed in the next version of Google Play services.
Vulkan support and multiple APKs in Google Play
On devices running Developer Preview 5, Google Play services 9.0.83 currently reports Vulkan support but not Vulkan version. This can cause Google Play to select a version of a multi-APK app that’s designed for lower Vulkan support on devices with higher version support. Currently, the Google Play Store does not accept uploads of Apps which use Vulkan version targeting. This support will be added to the Google Play Store in the future any Android N devices using the Google Play services 9.0.83 will continue to receive versions of Apps targeting basic Vulkan support.
Android Auto
The version of Google Maps included in Developer Preview 5 (9.30) crashes when used with Android Auto. This issue will be fixed in the next update to Google Maps (9.31), expected in the coming weeks.
