Android Developers

😎 We’re making it faster and easier for you to build Android apps using any agent, LLM, and tool with a new suite of resources — including the new and improved Android CLI. Here’s the breakdown on what's new: 🧵

Offline vibe coding with Gemma 4. This open-source Electron app runs entirely on your Mac via Apple's MLX framework. No Wi-Fi required.

The best games go exactly where your players go. Build for multi-platform with Google Play to ensure your game travels from the couch to the commute. It’s your opportunity to scale to 2 billion+ players and give them the freedom to play anywhere, anytime. Hear from the experts at BAFTA on why multi-platform is the next frontier for game development. 🎬
