To help you stay up-to-date on the latest in the Android ecosystem, we've proactively tested many apps in our catalog and have compiled a Knowledge Base of articles with best practices and information to help make your apps compatible with Android 5.0 Lollipop.  

Here is a sample of the top viewed articles covering common Lollipop issues and offering best practices:

• Android security changes requires uniquely defined custom permissions
• Ensuring use of Canvas Restore does not cause an Exception to be thrown
• ActivityManager.AppTask has been Deprecated to Improve Security
• New features in the WebView Update

We have also updated the App Testing Service to test your app compatibility with Android 5.0 Lollipop on Nexus 7 devices. You can simply drag and drop your APK to the App Testing Service and get compatibility results on Fire tablets, Fire Phone and now Nexus 7 in 90 seconds or less.
