More of this! https://developer.android.com/ ... Many of these new APIs have had available desugarings in R8 for a few years in case they showed up in libraries or by bytecode-emitting tools (or if Google finally updated Android). So a bunch of them will desugar to all API levels…

In other words, Google will make OEMs implement a dynamic theming engine or they can't ship Google apps on Android 12+ builds. OEMs can implement either Google's “monet” engine or their own monet-like implementation. https://twitter.com/...

The Material You revolution won't be televised: According to an article from @AndroidPolice, GMS requirements will soon force device makers to implement a Material You dynamic theming engine such as Google's own “monet.” https://www.androidpolice.com/ ...
