Google Releases Full Android 5.0 Lollipop Software Developer Kit

For the last few months, any Android app maker who wanted to check out the latest version of Google’s mobile operating system had the Android L Developer Preview to play with. Now, “L” has taken on a few more letters to become “Lollipop,” and on Friday, the full release of its software developer kit became available for download.

According to Google, Lollipop (also known as Android 5.0) will be heading to Nexus 4, 5, 7 (2012, 2013) and 10 in early November, right around the time when the latest Nexus 6, 9 and Nexus Player will hit the market. That’s just a couple of weeks away. 

In other words, if you’re an Android developer, don’t wait to roll up those sleeves and dive in. There’s not much time left, if you want to get your apps ready for the launch.
