+
+<p>
+ The <strong>first three preview milestones</strong> provide an <strong>early

+ needed to target the new platform. This is the priority period in which to

+ — for all of these, please use the issue tracker [link]. You can expect
+ some API changes across these updates.

+
+<p>
+ At <strong>previews 4 and 5</strong> you’ll have access to the <strong>final
+ N APIs and SDK</strong> to develop with, as well as near-final system images
+ to test system behaviors and features. Android N will provide a standard API
+ level at this time. You can begin final compatibility testing of your legacy
+ apps and refine any new code that is using the N APIs or features.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+ Also starting in preview 4, you’ll be able to <strong>publish apps to
+ devices</strong> running Android N at the official API level, such as
+ consumer devices that have opted into the Android Beta program. You can
+ publish into the Google Play alpha and beta channels first, so you can test
+ your apps with Android Beta consumers before distributing broadly on the
+ store.

+
+<h3 id="targeting">Targeting, preview APIs, and publishing</h3>
+
+<p>
+ The N Developer Preview provides a development-only system and Android
+ library that <strong>does not have a standard API level</strong>. If you want
+ to opt out of compatibility behaviors to test your app (which is strongly
+ recommended), you can target the preview version of Android N by setting your
+ app's <code><a href=
+ "{@docRoot}guide/topics/manifest/uses-sdk-element.html">targetSdkVersion</a></code>
+ to <code>“N”</code>.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+ The Android N Developer Preview delivers <strong>preview APIs</strong>
+ — the APIs will not be official until the final SDK is released,
+ currently planned for the third quarter of 2016. This means that you can
+ <strong>expect minor API changes</strong> over time, especially during
+ initial weeks of the program. We’ll provide a summary of changes to you with
+ each update of the Android N Developer Preview.
+</p>
+
+<p class="note">
+ <strong>Note</strong>: Although preview APIs may change, underlying
+ system behaviors are stable and ready for testing against
+ right away.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+ Google Play <strong>prevents publishing of apps targeting the N Developer
+ Preview</strong>. When the Android N final SDK is available, you’ll be able
+ to target the official Android N API level and publish your app to Google
+ Play via the alpha and beta release channels. Meanwhile, if you want to
+ distribute an app targeting Android M to testers, you can do so via email or
+ by direct download from your site.
+</p>
+
+<p>
+ At the full release of Android N to AOSP and OEMs, planned for Q3 2016,
+ you’ll be able to publish your apps targeting Android N to the public release
+ channel in Google Play.
