Platform Support

Android

• Landed a patch to get better (/valid) crashreporter reports. Are we seeing that on Nightly?
• NDKr5 should be deployed to build slaves now/soon
  • once its landed we’ll test a few builds with try to confirm functionality and perf
  • then we’ll land updated mozconfigs
• NDKr6 was released this week
  • no major toolchain changes, no update required for build slaves
  • new tool to get stack traces from logcat output
• Application install permissions
  • We added a way for the platform to see the network type
  • This adds a new permission request at installation
  • This will break automated updates
    • If a user selected “always update”, this change will break that. This change will require a manual update.
