Android N Developer Preview 4 is Out! Final APIs and Play Publishing

The road to N keeps getting shorter as we see new developer previews popping out. Now, we get theAndroid N developer preview 4, coming your way through your local ADB or your beta program OTAs!

What’s new in DP4? Developers will be happy to note that they can now publish apps that use API level 24 to Google Play in the alpha, beta and production release channel. Moreover, DP4 includes the final APIs (level 24) for Android N. Alongside Dev Preview 4, the final API 24 SDK is provided to be used with Android Studio 2.1.2 and higher, and there are DP4 system images for the emulator as well. You can find the downloads below:
