    • On devices running Developer Preview 5, Google Play services 9.0.83 + incorrectly reports the current screen density rather than the stable screen + density.

    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. +
