It's only a week into the ADC2 judging and already phones are being updated to Android 1.6 Cupcake. With at least one more week to go in the first round and (I'm guessing) two more weeks of judging in the second round this means that around 75% of the ADC2 judging will occur on Android 1.6. The 1.6 SDK was not made available to developers until after the ADC2 deadline so (except for a few exceptions) all of the ADC2 applications were not tested on this judging platform.
Already an undocumented change in 1.6, which can break applications that worked on 1.5, has been discovered here http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/61aca5f1f5bb0884/8cdd93627f37d636?lnk=gst and Google has acknowledged the problem here http://groups.google.com/group/android-developers/browse_thread/thread/9abb325786b5829c/aebe4677b6620a25?lnk=gst&q=%22There+was+a+bug+in+the+VM+in+1.5+that+would+allow+abstract+classes+to+be+instantiated+through+reflection.%22#aebe4677b6620a25 Why is Google allowing an estimated 75% of the ADC2 to be judged on a platform version that almost no one has had a chance to test on?
