The third generation of Amazon Fire TV operates on Fire OS 6, which is built on Android version 7.1.2 (API Level 25) Nougat. Changes to operating systems may cause functioning apps to cease working properly. Currently available and future apps may need to be updated to account for any issues arising from the updating the operating system to ensure that they are fully compatible with all Fire TV devices. The following features should be checked to avoid encountering issues while developing applications for Fire TV devices running Fire OS 6:
- Runtime Permissions
- Apache HTTP Client Removal
- Access to Hardware Identifier
- AudioManager Changes
- Android Keystore Changes
- Runtime
- APK Validation
- File System Permission Changes
- Sharing Files Between Apps
- NDK Apps Linking to Platform Libraries
