Android N APIs are final
The Android N APIs are now final! It’s time to get your apps ready, so if you haven’t already, download the final SDK for Android N through the SDK manager in Android Studio. Also, you can now publish updates compiling with, and optionally targeting, API 24 to Google Play. Which means you can start testing your app on the alpha, beta, or even production channels with the Google Play Developer Console. Hit up the post for all the links.
