Android Studio 3.5 Beta 1 available


Android Studio 3.5 Beta 1 is now available in the Beta channel.

If you have Android Studio set up to receive updates on the Beta channel, you can get the update by choosing Help > Check for Updates (Android Studio > Check for Updates on macOS). Otherwise, you can download it here.

Conditional delivery for dynamic feature modules

Conditional delivery allows you to set certain device configuration requirements for dynamic feature modules to be downloaded automatically during app install. For example, you can configure a dynamic feature module that includes functionality for augmented reality (AR) to be available at app install for only devices that support AR.
Conditional delivery currently supports controlling the availability of a module at app install-time based on the following device configurations:
  • Device hardware and software features, including OpenGL ES version
  • User country
  • API level
