anticipated features. Now each app will have to take

permissions to access other app. The user must grant this

permission or otherwise app will have to request

permission for other resources.

apps on multiple devices simultaneously and generate

reports.

will benefit developers, as it would be great way to spread

the words about their app. Invite can be sent over SMS,

Email or direct install button.

These weren’t just what Google had up

its sleeves.Some of the other features include Fingerprint API, App

linking, App Indexing, and Voice interactions; among

others. Google also offered new developers guides and
