Google has released the Android 15 Developer Preview for developers to test their apps on supported Google Pixel devices. This build includes support for satellite connectivity, more apps on cover displays for flip foldables, screen recorder detection, loudness control, HDR headroom control, and more. They have also released Developer Preview 2 with changes like official support for satellite connectivity and better cover screen support for apps. Satellite connectivity support allows apps to detect when connected to a satellite, and SMS and RCS apps use satellite connectivity for messaging. App developers can opt-in to support cover screens on supported flippable devices. Android 15 also introduces screen recorder detection, HDR headroom control, and loudness control features. Other changes include smoother NFC experiences, a PDFRenderer API, and new APIs for app tracking and detailed app size information. The builds are available for various Pixel devices, but only app developers should use them due to their unstable nature. Follow specific steps to install Android 15 Developer Preview 2, but it’s recommended to await the more stable Android 15 Betas next month.
