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 service
+ and will be included in a later Developer Preview release.

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 and fixed in the next version of Google Play services (to be included
+ in a later Developer Preview release) any Android N devices using the
+ version of Google Play services 9.0.83 will continue to receive versions
+ of Apps targeting basic Vulkan support.

Android Auto

Notes on publishing apps that target API 24
+
+
+ Before publishing apps that target API 24 in Google Play, keep these points
+ in mind:
+
+
+
+ - If your app’s current
targetSdkVersion is 22 or lower and
+ you want to target API 24, you’ll need to support behaviors
+ introduced with Android 6.0 (Marshmallow), such as runtime permissions, in
+ addition to Android N behaviors.
+
+
+ - Once you publish an app with
targetSdkVersion set to 23 or
+ higher, you can't later publish a version of the app with a higher
+ versionCode that targets 22 or lower. This restriction applies
+ in alpha and beta channels as well as production channel.
