Google rolls out updates of its Android operating system to help improve the performance, fix bugs, and enhance user experience. The more Android phone user behavior continues to change, the more Google has to pace up to meet the demands. In addition, Android application development teams have to prepare for the new changes in the operating system. Companies will need to work on their apps so that they remain compatible and work seamlessly with the new version of the operating system.<\/p>\n

In February 2019 Google launched its first preview for Android 11 preview indicating that the release of the Android 11 is on the pipeline. Developers who may want to begin working out projects on apps and services that work for the next Android may check out the Android 11 preview. Google, however, won’t announce many of the Android 11’s consumer-facing features until the Google I\/O 2020 schedule to be held in May. Essentially, the first developer previews mainly to serve as an introductory for developers to the new APIs such as APIs around the 5G network and the permissions. Having said that, there are new features that make the new Android OS version an exciting product for every user. For example – the one-time permission feature that is going to be available for applications needing to access things such as location once. When a user grants permission or access to a location once, then thereafter, it will be rescinded.<\/p>\n

Another thing is that Android 11 gets more modules. When you look at Android 10, you find that Google made Android components to be updatable via Google Play something that allows the company to be able to update parts of the Android operating system without the need to release full updates for Android. This is a trend that is seen to continue with the new version of the Android operating system where 12 new modules have been added making the total to be 20 modules.<\/p>\n

What’s more, Google is going to support what it calls digital driver licenses. The Android 11 operating system will have support when it comes to secure storage as well as retrieving of Verifiable Identification Documents like the Mobile Driving Licenses that are ISO 18013-5 compliant. While not a major feature, you find that the new Android 11 has better call screening services as well as camera improvements to the likes of the bokeh modes.<\/p>\n

The highlights for the first developer preview of Android 11 are:<\/p>\n
