According to TechCrunch, global memory chip supplies are tightening due to a surge in demand from AI data centers. In response, Google announced two new requirements for Android apps this week: first, setting new performance thresholds for dynamic memory usage and bitmap consumption; second, increasing code optimization requirements to reduce app stuttering and crashes. To help developers meet these standards, Google will provide detection tools, and developers will receive alerts when their apps exceed limits. Later this year, Google will also introduce diagnostic features such as a 'memory limiter.' Developers must complete adjustments by February 2027. Additionally, Google requires all Google Play Store apps to support 'zero-click login' by April 2027.
