Due to limitations to the splash screen introduced in Android 12, the splash screen logic is updated to the same logic as used on other platforms, i.e: the splash screen is rendered by the Godot engine instead of the Android runtime.
The existing 'idea.platform.prefix' system-property approach
only worked because of a Android Studio bug that leaks the
system properties from Android Studio into Gradle build:
- https://issuetracker.google.com/201075423
This bug was fixed in Android Studio 2023.3.1 (Jellyfish).
The correct way of identifying builds from Android Studio is to
use the following project property (not system property):
- android.injected.invoked.from.ide
Gradle automatically handles up-to-date checks for output files and directories. This behavior sometimes causes the `copyAndRename*` task to fail on Windows machines when gradle tries to check on existing files in the output directories it doesn't have access to.
To fix the issue, we disable this gradle behavior following the instructions in https://docs.gradle.org/8.2/userguide/incremental_build.html#sec:disable-state-tracking
- Update Android gradle plugin version from 7.2.1 to 8.2.0
- Update gradle version from 7.4.2 to 8.2
- Update target SDK from 33 to 34
- Update build tools version from 33.0.2 to 34.0.0
- Update kotlin version from 1.7.0 to 1.9.20
- Update Android fragment version from 1.3.6 to 1.6.2
- Update AndroidX window version from 1.0.0 to 1.2.0
Decouples the Godot java entry point from the Android Fragment component. This enables the Godot component to be more easily reused across different types of Android components including Activities and Services.
A snapshot version is a version that has not yet been released which allows us to deploy the same transient version incrementally, without requiring projects to upgrade the artifact version they're consuming. Those projects can use the same version to get an updated snapshot version.
Remove the XR export logic from the legacy build system:
- On Android, Godot 4 export requires the use of Android plugins which are not supported by the legacy build system
- Provides added flexibility for configuring the Android manifest for XR specific capabilities.
As many open source projects have started doing it, we're removing the
current year from the copyright notice, so that we don't need to bump
it every year.
It seems like only the first year of publication is technically
relevant for copyright notices, and even that seems to be something
that many companies stopped listing altogether (in a version controlled
codebase, the commits are a much better source of date of publication
than a hardcoded copyright statement).
We also now list Godot Engine contributors first as we're collectively
the current maintainers of the project, and we clarify that the
"exclusive" copyright of the co-founders covers the timespan before
opensourcing (their further contributions are included as part of Godot
Engine contributors).
Also fixed "cf." Frenchism - it's meant as "refer to / see".
Add necessary build flags and switch from using a
GLES2 context to a GLES3 one.
This also enables building for OpenXR

This was done by refactoring directory and file access handling for the Android platform so that any general filesystem access type go through the Android layer.
This allows us to validate whether the access is unrestricted, or whether it falls under scoped storage and thus act appropriately.
- Using a bucketized approach to select the editor scale in order to avoid too high values
- Add default app dimensions: used on Android devices with free floating app windows to set the default app frame
- Add ability to launch the Game window in an adjacent frame when in multi window mode
These set of changes focus primarily on getting the core logic and overall Godot Editor UI and functionality up and running natively on Android devices.
UI tweaks / cleanup / polish, as well configuration for Android specific functionality / restrictions will be addressed in follow-up PRs iteratively based on feedback.

- Adds the parameters for supported Meta devices, which is required to access some device specific capabilities
- Remove the 'com.samsung.android.vr.application.mode' metadata
This only adds support for a subset of Play Asset Delivery: this causes a single install-time asset pack to always be present, but doesn't add support for dynamically downloaded asset packs.
This is done by providing API access to app specific directories which don't have any limitations and allows us to bump the target sdk version to 30.
In addition, we're also bumping the min sdk version to 19 as version 18 is no longer supported by Google Play Services and only account of 0.3% of Android devices.
It can be turned off in the export preset with `package/classify_as_game`.
Upstream definition: https://developer.android.com/guide/topics/manifest/application-element#isGame
> `android:isGame`
>
> Whether or not the application is a game. The system may group together
> applications classifed as games or display them separately from other
> applications.
Also fixes replacing `android:allowBackup` in custom builds.
In addition, add support for scaling and applying filter to the splash screen on Android.
One limitation of the api being used is that the splash screen aspect ratio is not maintained when it's scaled up.
This is what GitHub Actions now provide and they removed the previous 21.3.6528147.
A bit annoying to have our hand forced this way but it's still 21.x so should be good
to upgrade.
Happy new year to the wonderful Godot community!
2020 has been a tough year for most of us personally, but a good year for
Godot development nonetheless with a huge amount of work done towards Godot
4.0 and great improvements backported to the long-lived 3.2 branch.
We've had close to 400 contributors to engine code this year, authoring near
7,000 commit! (And that's only for the `master` branch and for the engine code,
there's a lot more when counting docs, demos and other first-party repos.)
Here's to a great year 2021 for all Godot users 🎆
The issue was caused by PR #36906 which changes prevented the generated shared libraries from being stripped.
Since the change is only needed for development (debugging) purposes, it's commented out by default.
With the NDK installed locally, gradle plugin 3.6.0 seems to enforce
a specific older NDK version, and will fail building if you don't have
it installed with:
```
No version of NDK matched the requested version 20.0.5594570.
Versions available locally: 21.0.6113669
```
