Building an awesome game for Android
summary
Requires API level 26+ now and a 64-bit build next year, so update engines and plugins; Android P adds Vulkan 1.1, neural net APIs, notch simulation and JobScheduler, and NDK r18 uses libc++ and LLD for much faster links. Chrome OS runs most Android games (about 90%), but ship x86 too; Gameloft reports 6x DAU, 9x monetization on Chromebooks. Use Airtest + Firebase Test Lab for scripted, image- or Poco-driven tests, GAPID to trace draw calls, Android Studio systrace to find slow frames, and Vitals to catch real-world crashes.
