Right on schedule, Google has released the fourth Android Q Beta. As expected, the search giant has also made the final APIs and official SDK available so that developers can start updating their apps and uploading them to the Play Store in order to test for Android Q compatibility.
Users already running the Android Q beta will likely not see any changes after installing the firmware update. Over the coming weeks, though, developers will start updating their apps. This process will take a bit of time, but it should result in a smoother and less buggy user experience.

What’s new in Android Q Beta 4
As mentioned, with Beta 4, Google has released the final APIs for Android Q. The Play Store now allows developers to start uploading app updates that include API 29 in order to test compatibility with the operating system.
Google recommends that developers test their apps with scoped storage, the new location permission, and other changes made in Android Q. The full list of items that might affect app compatibility can be found here.
Once the basics are done, the Silicon Valley company welcomes developers to start preparing for the foldable form factor, automatic dark theme switching, gesture navigation, and more.
