Google releases first Android 17 beta, introduces continuous developer updates
Google has released the first beta of Android 17 and introduced a new developer update approach, TechCrunch reported on Tuesday. Instead of a traditional developer beta, Google will run a continuous Canary channel that offers APIs and features immediately after they pass internal testing, similar to Chrome’s update model. The Canary build lets developers try new changes early via OTA updates. Google targets a second-quarter 2026 release and aims for platform stability in March.
