Android 16 introduces several mandatory changes for app developers including bumping SDK levels to API 36, mandatory edge-to-edge UI enforcement, enabled predictive back gestures by default, deprecated elegant text height attribute, changes to scheduled executor service behavior, enforced orientation flexibility (no more portrait-only locking except for games and small screens), granular health data permissions, and new Bluetooth bond loss detection intents. Developers must update their apps to handle these changes, particularly focusing on responsive UI design and proper state restoration across configuration changes.
