Keynote: Now in Modern Android
summary
Modern Android shows concrete choices and working examples: a production sample app on GitHub called Now in Android sample that demonstrates Jetpack Compose UIs, unidirectional data flow, layered repositories and convention Gradle plugins. Kotlin is the recommended language, KSP replaces KAPT for much faster builds, and Jetpack now totals 100+ libraries and 200+ contributors. Add a generated baseline profile: up to 30% faster startup to get immediate startup wins, and use version catalogs, macrobenchmarks and Compose UI tests to keep performance and correctness measurable.
