Thank you for your patience! We're working to improve the insights we provide to you about the Android ecosystem and the ways we're accelerating updates to Android devices, such as through Project Treble, the Android Beta program, security updates and more. For more robust data to help you manage your app's targeting and understand the characteristics of your users' devices, we recommend using the app stats available to you in Play Console. This page provides information about the relative number of devices that share a certain characteristic, such as screen size and density. Each snapshot of data represents all of the active devices during a 7-day period ending on October 30, If you want to see statistics just for the devices on which users are running your app, you can use the Google Play Console. This may help you choose which device profiles to optimize. This section provides data about the relative number of devices that support a particular version of Vulkan.

There are several pages within the Play Console where you can review your app's installs, uninstalls, ratings, revenue, and crashes data. Note : For details on a specific metric, hover over the question mark icon. To better understand your app's performance, you can use the Statistics page to compare metrics, select custom date ranges, and view data by dimensions. You can also compare growth rate metrics with peer groups on Google Play to understand how your app is performing. You can find out more about these updates on the Android Developers site. Tip: The updated metrics may have affected the way you set up and understand your reports. We recommend you take the time to understand the changes so that you can configure the metrics to generate reports that are compatible with your previous data. After you set up your report, a table and chart are displayed that show your app's data for the time period that you select.
For the longest time, Google would publish Android version distribution statistics on a dedicated webpage. The chart will help developers decide the right minimum SDK version for their application. Based on this data, we can construct a table showing the distribution of Android OS versions. It makes sense for Android version distribution to be shown in Android Studio since this data is really only useful for developers anyway. Editor-in-chief at XDA-Developers. XDA Developers was founded by developers, for developers. It is now a valuable resource for people who want to make the most of their mobile devices, from customizing the look and feel to adding new functionality.
