Improving Stability

We’ve been working to ensure that apps don’t use non-SDK interfaces, since doing so risks crashes for users and emergency rollouts for developers.

Starting in the next release of Android, we will further increase stability by expanding these restrictions to cover the interfaces of the SDK. Head on over to the post for some more details and what’s next.
