Hi all,
Please read this https://android-developers.googlebl...sa&utm_campaign=elevating-app-quality-q3-2026
The mobile industry is navigating significant hardware supply constraints that are altering device memory availability that over time can negatively impact the user experience. Android is addressing this challenge head-on with broader memory limits that aim to protect the overall user experience from apps using excess memory and causing system-wide slowdowns.
Building on this, today Google Play is establishing performance thresholds to help developers ensure their apps continue to deliver the premium experience users expect. This includes new thresholds across dynamic memory usage, bitmap usage, and code optimization to prevent unexpected on-device performance throttling and app terminations.
The Zero-Tap Sign-In standard will require any app supporting user sign-in, optional or mandatory, to automatically restore a user's sign-in state when they move from one Android device to another with the Android Restore Credentials API. This API ensures that when a user opens your app on their new Android device for the very first time, they are instantly recognized and securely signed in without additional taps.
Starting in April 2027, Google Play will require apps to meet the Zero Tap Sign-In requirement to maintain full publishing capabilities and optimal visibility in the Play Store.

Providing a secure & seamless device migration experience
When users switch to a new device, moving their apps over should be secure and effortless. To provide a better onboarding experience, we’re introducing a requirement for app developers to make log-ins faster and safer during device transfers.The Zero-Tap Sign-In standard will require any app supporting user sign-in, optional or mandatory, to automatically restore a user's sign-in state when they move from one Android device to another with the Android Restore Credentials API.
