Getting started

Fire OS 6 is our Android-based operating system that powers Amazon Fire TV. Fire OS 6 is based on Android 7.1 (Nougat) and API 25, making it more compatible with existing Android apps than ever before. Developing for Fire OS 6 means that even more of your apps should work on Amazon Fire devices with no additional engineering effort.
