Release Notes

October 11, 2021

The play-services-appset library is now generally available. This library is designed to support use cases such as analytics or fraud prevention in a way that respects user privacy.

This library includes methods to manage app set ID, which is a unique ID that, on a given device, allows you to correlate usage or actions across a set of apps owned by your organization. For more information, refer to this guide.

This GA release includes the following updates to the developer preview version:
- Renamed multiple client interfaces. For more details, see the play-services-appset API reference documentation.
- Made the play-services-appset library compatible with the upcoming developer-scoped app set ID. It's expected that Google Play services will add support for the developer-scoped app set ID soon. This capability will be released in Google Play services and pushed to users' devices without needing to upgrade the version of the play-services-appset library.

The latest update to the ads-identifier library includes the declaration of a Google Play services permission: com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID.

If you use ads-identifier v17.1.0 or higher, then you don't need to declare the permission again in your app manifest to access the advertising ID.

In preparation for enforcing strict nullability, we added @RecentlyNonNull and @RecentlyNullable annotations to several SDKs that previously did not explicitly define nullability. This change will cause warnings on null safety violations.

This change provides better Kotlin interoperability and better static null checking for apps that use Java null checking frameworks.

Similar additions of @RecentlyNonNull and @RecentlyNullable will be incrementally rolled out in future releases of other com.google.android.gms artifacts.

The latest updates to play-services-nearby (v18.0.0) include the following changes:
- Added @NonNull and @Nullable annotations in the API surface which may break Kotlin apps that did not previously handle null values in a safe way (see Kotlin documentation about Null-safety).
- Changed ConnectionsClient to be an interface instead of an abstract class.
- Changed ConnectionsClient#MAX_BYTES_DATA_SIZE to be final.
- Added ConnectionInfo#getAuthenticationDigits() to get the 4-digit human-readable authentication token that was provided to both devices.
- Added support for sensitive file transfer with Payload#isSensitive() and Payload#setSensitive(boolean) to restrict other APPs from accessing a shared file.
- Added support for the disruptive upgrade feature. This feature is enabled by default. The client can disable it with AdvertisingOptions.Builder#setDisruptiveUpgrade(boolean) and ConnectionOptions.Builder#setDisruptiveUpgrade(boolean), which prevents the originally connected Wi-Fi network from being disabled or disconnected during the upgrade progress.
- Deprecated Payload.File#close() and Payload.Stream#close().

The latest updates to play-services-basement, play-services-tasks, and play-services-base include the following changes:
- In preparation for enforcing strict nullability, we've added @RecentlyNonNull and @RecentlyNullable annotations where the base and basement SDKs previously did not explicitly define nullability. This provides better Kotlin interoperability, as well as better static null checking for anyone using Java null checking frameworks. Similar additions of @RecentlyNonNull and @RecentlyNullable will be incrementally rolled out in releases of com.google.android.gms artifacts.
- When an API call fails due to a connection issue between the app and Google Play services, the failing ConnectionResult is now accessible from the Status of the ApiException.
- In certain situations where a device does not have valid Google Play services, API calls will fail faster instead of waiting for user acknowledgement.
- Added new GoogleApiAvailability#getErrorDialog overloads that accept a Fragment.
- Deprecated Tasks#call methods in favor of TaskCompletionSource.
- Internal updates for other Google Play services APIs.

- play-services-basement references a method in androidx-core:core:1.2.0, so this patch updates dependencies accordingly.

March 19, 2020

The latest updates to play-services-basement, play-services-tasks, and play-services-base include the following changes:
- Adds "non-semver-breaking" nullability annotations to the API surface
For example, GoogleApiAvailability#makeGooglePlayServicesAvailable now returns a @NonNull Task so that the Kotlin compiler treats it as non-null instead of a platform type. However, the Activity parameter passed to it is not marked @NonNull (even though it is effectively non-null) so that this change does not break Kotlin code that passes in an Activity?.
- Internal updates for other Play services libraries.

Updated the FIDO2 API according to the latest WebAuthn spec. Developers can use the FIDO2 APIS to strongly authenticate their users with two types of authenticators: external U2F authenticators and the supported device-resident "embedded" authenticator.
Removed constructors from Fido2ApiClient and Fido2PrivilegedApiClient. These classes should be instantiated through the static factories in Fido.
Renamed MakeCredentialOptions and BrowserMakeCredentialOptions to PublicKeyCredentialCreationOptions and and BrowserPublicKeyCredentialCreationOptions respectively.
Augmented RequestOptions with an AuthenticationExtensions member that allows the caller to dictate client-side behavior when conducting a registration or authentication ceremony. Currently, only the FidoAppIdExtension is supported. Over time, more extensions may be supported depending on the use case.
Added Builder for AuthenticatorSelectionCriteria.
Changed Builders for PublicKeyCredentialRequestOptions, BrowserPublicKeyCredentialRequestOptions.
Removed Builders for API response-level objects AuthenticatorAttestationResponse, AuthenticatorAssertionResponse, AuthenticatorErrorResponse.
Added enumerations of RSA and EC2 algorithms from the COSE registry to employ in PublicKeyCredentialParameters.
Added AttestationConveyancePreference, which specifies the level of obfuscation of the attestation object returned in a registration ceremony.
Renamed and restructured the former TokenBindingIdValue to TokenBinding.
Augmented and/or updated other data structures to represent WebAuthn draft WD11. For instance, the "user id" field in PublicKeyCredentialUserEntity has been updated to be a byte[] rather than a String. Please be sure to update your implementation accordingly.

Refactored the strict-version-matcher-plugin dependency analysis to present a better error messaging when conflicting artifact versions are identified. The error messages now include project names and intra-project dependency names, to help you identify which of your declared dependencies are causing errors.
Fixed bugs in the plugin related to multi-module and parallel builds.

Added new requirement for a <meta-data> tag in AndroidManifest.xml:
- Google AdMob publishers are required to specify a <meta-data> tag with key com.google.android.gms.ads.APPLICATION_ID. See the AdMob getting started guide for more details.
- Google Ad Manager publishers are required to specify a <meta-data> tag with key com.google.android.gms.ads.AD_MANAGER_APP. See the Ad Manager getting started guide for more details.
Native ads: NativeAppInstallAd, NativeContentAd, and associated APIs are deprecated in favor of UnifiedNativeAd. See Native Ads Advanced Unified for further instructions on using the new APIs.
Native ads: Added the "Mute this Ad" feature.
Native ads: The benign warning log: “UnconfirmedClickListener must not be null while ClickConfirmingView is set.” has been removed.
Rewarded ads: Calling destroy() will null out the listener.
Deprecated the following methods on AdRequest.Builder.

Core libraries minor feature updates.

Minor internal feature updates were made to some core libraries (play-services-auth, play-services-base, play-services-basement, play-services-flags, play-services-stats, play-services-tasks) used by other Google Play services libraries.
The strict interdependencies between the core libraries were relaxed so that minor and patch versions can be used individually. Previously the POM files for these libraries specified their dependencies at exact versions, which complicates resolution of dependencies.
The core library dependency changes necessitated releasing a full set of libraries that have updated versions in their POM dependencies. Non-core libraries do not have any external changes except to update their transitive dependencies.
Bug fixes and internal improvements to firebase-database and firebase-firestore.

Artifacts released on maven.google.com

The following libraries have code changes:
com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:16.0.1
com.google.android.gms:play-services-base:16.0.1

Version Ranges Removed

Starting with the 15.0.0 release of Google Play services and Firebase, inter-library dependencies were defined using version ranges in the POMs. This affected the build reproducibility of projects using these libraries. As an example, Gradle's dependency resolution will attempt to use the highest available concrete version in a repository, causing uplift of a dependency version without any changes to the project itself.

The use of version ranges was a mistake and has been corrected; Google Play services and Firebase dependencies will no longer use version ranges. However, existing, published library POM files already contain ranges. Thus, all future library updates will need to start outside the dependency ranges of previously published libraries.

Example:

If play-services-bar had a dependency onto play-services-foo with range [15.0.0, 16.0.0), a new release of play-services-foo must begin with 16.0.0 to be outside this range.
Any future releases of play-services-bar will declare a "soft" requirement onto a single version of play-services-foo.
Any future release of play-services-foo will follow SemVer.

Firebase

The latest update to Firebase includes API changes for Cloud Firestore, Cloud Storage, Firebase Authentication, Firebase Realtime Database, and Machine Learning. For more information, see Firebase Android SDK Release Notes.
Firebase now requires the app gradle file to explicitly list com.google.firebase:firebase-core as a dependency for Firebase services to work as expected.

Firebase

The latest update to Firebase includes additions to Firebase Analytics, Firebase Authentication, Firebase Cloud Messaging, Firebase Cloud Storage, Cloud Firestore, Firebase Crash Reporting, and Firebase Performance Monitoring along with independent version numbers. For more information, read the Firebase Android SDK Release Notes.

Play Services updates

Google Play services libraries after 15.0.0 now have independent version numbers which follow SemVer. This change will allow for more frequent, flexible updates by individual components.
The Google Services Gradle plugin has been updated to version 3.3.0 to support this change in versioning. If you do not use this plugin, a standalone plugin, com.google.android.gms.strict-version-matcher-plugin has been released with the same version support functionality. For more details, see versioning guide.

April 12, 2018 - Version 15.0.0

Known Issues with version 15.0.0

If you are using the Android Plugin for Gradle version 2.2.0 or lower, you may encounter the following error:

Error: more than one library with package name 'com.google.android.gms'

To resolve the issue, update to a more recent version of the plugin.

Highlights from the v 15.0.0 release:

Play Services updates

A new version of the com.google.gms.oss.licenses.plugin Gradle plugin is now available. Please update as only this latest version works with Google Play services 15.0.0 and beyond. This is the last version of the plugin to support Android Studio 2.x. Starting with the next version, the plugin will support Android Studio 3.x only.
All references to com.google.android.gms.R classes have been replaced by component specific references; for example, com.google.android.gms.ads.R. If you use these classes directly in your code, you may need to update your code to be compatible.
Starting with 15.0.0, there will no longer be an updated offline Javadoc (the Google Play services artifact in Android Studio’s SDK Manager).
Starting with 15.0.0, there will no longer be a play-services alias target to pull in all Google Play services components. This has been recommended against for some time.

Added the UnifiedNativeAd class, which can contain either an app install ad or a content ad.
Updated the Native Ads Advanced API to support UnifiedNativeAd:
- Added the UnifiedNativeAdView and UnifiedNativeAdAssetNames classes.
- Added the UnifiedNativeAd.OnUnifiedNativeAdLoadedListener interface.
- Added the forUnifiedNativeAd() method to the AdLoader.Builder class.
- Made several updates to the mediation API, making it possible for adapters and custom events to return instances of UnifiedNativeAd.

Auth

Added the KEY_EXTRA_ACCOUNT_TYPE constant to the AccountTransfer class, which lets packages know which account type should be addressed.

Cast

Deprecated the AppVisibilityListener class.
Deprecated RemoteMediaClient.Listener class. Use the new RemoteMediaClient.Callback class instead.
Fixed a crash in TracksChooserDialogFragment and made several changes to its constructor and creator.
Introduced the MediaQueue API as a replacement for existing media queue mechanism. Use the new MediaQueueRecyclerViewAdapter and MediaQueueArrayAdapter classes to access MediaQueue in recycler views and list views, respectively.
Tapping cast remote control notifications now take users to the Google Home app or the corresponding Cast app, depending on if the Cast app supports joining the session automatically.
Ads Support Update:
- Cast Sender API now supports loading VAST ads.
- Added "Skip Ad" button and countdown text UI elements.
Added a version of CastContext.getSharedInstance() that doesn't require Context as parameter.
Fixed an IllegalStateException crash in CAF.
Added DEVICE_CONNECTION_SUSPENDED to CastStatusCodes for PendingResult.
For more details, see Google Cast release notes.

Firebase

The latest update to Firebase includes additions to Firebase Authentication and Firebase Cloud Storage. For more information, see Firebase Android SDK Release Notes.

Fitness

Deprecated the fromLocationRequest() method of the SensorRequest class. Use SensorRequest.Builder to build SensorRequest instead.

Google Cloud Messaging

Deprecated the GoogleCloudMessaging, GcmPubSub, GcmReceiver, GcmListenerService, InstanceID, and InstanceIDListenerService classes. Use FirebaseMessaging instead.

Games

Deprecated the getChurnProbability(), PlayerStats.getHighSpenderProbability, getSpendProbability(), and getTotalSpendNext28Days() methods from the PlayerStats class.

Instant Apps

Removed InstantApps.API. Use InstantApps.getInstantAppsClient() instead.

Nearby

Deprecated NearbyConnections-related internal states.

Wallet

Deprecated the Payments class. Instead, use Wallet.getPaymentsClient() to get an instance of the new PaymentsClient class.

March 28, 2018 - Version 12.0.1

Issues fixed in 12.0.1:

Fixes issue that caused spurious Android lint errors claiming GoogleSignIn and CredentialsClient were internal-only.
Adds missing minSdkVersion in -license artifacts to prevent automatic inclusion of READ_PHONE_STATE and READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permissions.
Restores unique package names for runtime linked -license artifacts which affected some build systems' (e.g. Ionic Pro) compatibility issues.
Restores some fields names that were obfuscated in 12.0.1, namely the value() method of @PropertyName annotations in firebase-firestore and firebase-database.

March 20, 2018 - Version 12.0.0

Known Issues with version 12.0.0

-license POM dependencies have no minSdkVersion / targetSdkVersion set, which means that the implied targetSdkVersion is 1. This adds READ_PHONE_STATE and READ_EXTERNAL_STORAGE permissions for apps using 12.0.0.
-license POM dependencies cause "more than one library with package name ‘com.google.android.gms.license'" issues in Ionic Pro.
@PropertyName annotations for firebase-database and firebase-firestore have their value() method obfuscated. This means your app will not build if you use @PropertyName.
An annotation causes spurious lint errors claiming GoogleSignIn and CredentialsClient are internal-only. These can safely be ignored.

We will provide an updated 12.0.1 release to address these issues soon.

Highlights from the Google Play services 12.0.0 release:

Ads
- Added the trackViews() method to the NativeAdMapper class. The method replaces the now-deprecated trackView() method of the same class.
Auth
- Deprecated the Auth.AuthCredentialsOptions class in favor of the new CredentialsOptions class.
Cast
- Improved Ads support:
  - Added the setAdBreakClips() and setAdBreaks() methods to the MediaInfo.Builder class to provide a way to send ad break and clip info in a media load request.
  - Updated the AdBreakInfo.Builder class and added the AdBreakClipInfo class to facilitate new break- and clip-sending methods.
- Added support for new voice cast APIs:
  - Added the setCredentials() and setCredentialsType() methods to the MeadiaLoadOptions.Builder class and the getCredentials() and getCredentialsType() methods to the MediaLoadOptions class. The methods allow you to set and get application-specific credentials with load requests.
  - Added the getEntity() method to the MediaInfo class. The entity represents a deep link for media loading from Google Assistant.
- Fixed a bug where calling CastContext.getSharedInstance() on devices with out-of-date versions of Google Play services caused a crash. Outdated Google Play services versions still cause the method to fail, so clients should check for an appropriate version.
Fido
- The Fast Identity Online 2.0 (Fido2) API is now available to early access partners. Since the API is still early-access, breaking changes can be made without warning. For the sake of your app's stability, don't rely on this API until it's more generally available.
Firebase
- The latest update to Firebase includes additions to Firebase Authentication, Firebase Cloud Messaging, Firestore, and Firebase Functions. For more information, see Firebase Android SDK Release Notes.
Instant Apps
- Added new a Launcher API, to check a supplied URL and launch an instant app if one is found.
Location
- Added the ActivityTransition class to help apps differentiate between different physical activities users undertake, for example walking, running, or driving.
- Added the BoundsMode interface to allow the getAutocompletePredictions() method to enable searches with bounds restrictions.
Maps
- Added the StreetViewSource class, which lets you restrict Streetview searches to outdoor-only results.
- For a full list of features, bug fixes, and other notes, see the Maps Android API Release Notes.
Nearby
- Deprecated the GoogleApiClient-based Messages and Connections interfaces. Use the new GoogleApi-based clients, MessagesClient and ConnectionsClient instead.

December 18, 2017 - Version 11.8.0

Highlights from the Google Play services 11.8.0 release:

Auth
- The WorkAccountApi class is now deprecated. Use WorkAccountClient via WorkAccount.getClient() instead.
Cast
- Made the following changes to the UIMediaController class:
  - When views are bound to UIMediaController, the controller now registers listeners that call one of the following event handling methods in response to user interactions, as appropriate:
  - Override any of the above the event handling methods to customize their behavior.
  - Improved documentation to clarify the underlying implementation of UIMediaController.
  - Inverted the mute toggle button display so that it shows a speaker icon when unmuted and a crossed speaker icon when muted.
- The Cast SDK for Android now supports Instant apps.
Firebase
- The latest update to Firebase includes additions to Firebase Appindexing, Firebase Authentication, Firebase Cloud Messaging, and Firebase Performance Monitoring. For more information, see Firebase Android SDK Release Notes.
Location
- Added the KEY_VERTICAL_ACCURACY constant, which indicates the estimated vertical accuracy of a location.
Wallet
- Updated the isReadyToPay() method to offer a option for an extra check that ensures the user has an existing payment method.
Wearable
- Updated the Wearable API for the new GoogleApi-based clients, which automatically manage connections to services and require less boilerplate code to use:
  - Added the CapabilityClient class and the Wearable.getCapabilityClient() method to replace the CapabilityApi interface as a way to to learn about capabilities provided by nodes on the Wear network.
  - Added the ChannelClient class and the Wearable.getChallenClient() method to replace the ChannelApi interface as a way to send and receive data from wearable nodes.
  - Added the DataClient class and the Wearable.getDataClient() method to replace the DataApi interface as a way to read and write data items and assets.
  - Added the MessageClient class and the Wearable.getMessageClient() method to replace the MessageApi interface as a way to send messages to other nodes.
  - Added the NodeClient class and the Wearable.getNodeClient() method to replace the NodeApi interface as a way to learn about connected nodes.
- API calls return Task<ResultType> instead of PendingResult<ResultWrapper>
- ChannelClient.ChannelCallback replaces ChannelApi.ChannelListener.
- WearableOptions.Builder.setLooper() replaces GoogleApiClient.Builder.setHandler() to set the thread for listener callbacks in the new API Client classes.

For more information about the latest Wearable API release, see the Android Wear Release Notes page.

Resolved issue in version 11.8.0

GoogleApi instances created with a Context in apps with targetSdkVersion 26 now automatically prompt users to update Google Play services, resolving that known issue from 11.6.0.

November 27, 2017 - Version 11.6.2

Nearby
- Added Nearby notifications, to let users know about apps and websites associated with nearby beacons and smart devices.
- Nearby.Messages can scan for Eddystone beacons and iBeacons in the background, waking client applications up when beacons matching their filter are found. To learn more, see Nearby.Messages.
- This release removes the requirement that clients use the Proximity Beacon API to manage their beacons. Nearby will now return parsed BLE advertisements directly, allowing clients to use their own solution to interpret those advertisements.
- Distance estimates and RSSI information are now returned to foreground beacon clients.

May 2016 - version 9.0

Highlights from the Google Play services 9.0 release.

Google Play services updated to 9.0.2 The Google Play services version 9.0.2 release is now available. This release fixes a known issue with Firebase Authentication where the FirebaseAuthApi is not available on some devices. A FirebaseApiNotAvailableException error occurs when those devices attempt to use Authentication APIs.

Firebase

Firebase gives mobile developers the tools and infrastructure they need to develop their app, grow their user base, and earn revenues from in-app ads. In this release, Firebase APIs are now available in Google Play services, and include new products: Firebase Analytics, Firebase Storage, Firebase Remote Config, Firebase Crash Reporting, Firebase Dynamic Links, and Firebase Notifications.

For a list of the libraries available for the different Firebase features, see Firebase libraries. The following features are now part of Firebase in the Google Play Services 9.0 SDK:
- App Invites (now Firebase Invites) is still available at com.google.android.gms.appinvite, but going forward you should use com.google.firebase:firebase-invites.
- Firebase Cloud Messaging builds on and improves the Google Cloud Messaging API. You can keep using Google Cloud Messaging with com.google.android.gms.gcm, but we recommend upgrading to com.google.firebase:firebase-messaging.
To learn more about Firebase, see https://firebase.google.com/.
Ads
- The Rewarded Video Publisher API now includes support for custom events.
- Native express video now includes APIs that provide control of how videos are displayed, including specifying the initial mute state and callbacks when the video is complete.
- Updated Custom Search Ads for mobile apps that let app developers monetize in-app search events with highly relevant ads based on their user's queries. With this update, the in-app monetization solution is equivalent to what is available on the desktop or the mobile web. App developers now have access to the full set of extensions, layouts, attribution options, callbacks and custom ad icons.
- The MobileAds API now includes support for setting the preferred volume of video ads using setAppVolume(), and also muting video ads using setAppMuted().
- The MobileAds initialize(android.content.Context, java.lang.String) method is no longer deprecated. Instead, the initialize(android.content.Context) method is now deprecated.
- The MediationNativeListener interface now includes a method, onAdImpression(), which mobile ad networks can call when they record an impression.
Nearby
- Simplified the Nearby consent UI and permission model.
  - Any app with fine-grain location permission can scan for BLE Beacons without additional permission.
  - Opt-in dialogs are shown to users when the app calls the GoogleAPIClient connect() method.
Games
- Client SDK updates to improve the Player Stat API with two new predictions: predicting player spend in the next 28 days, and predicting the probability of a player being a 95th percentile spender.
- Client SDK updates to make the Video Recording API widely available.
Google Cloud Messaging
- Google Cloud Messaging (GCM) is integrated with Firebase. Existing users of GCM can continue to use GCM without interruption, though we strongly recommend upgrading to the new and simplified Firebase Cloud Messaging (FCM) APIs, so that users can benefit from future releases of new features and enhancements. To learn more, see Migrate a GCM Client App for Android to Firebase Cloud Messaging.
Mobile Vision
- A service required by Mobile Vision is now disabled due to an issue with that service. This will prevent users who have not already used face or barcode detection from using those features. We do not recommend adding new Mobile Vision features to your app until this issue is fixed.
- For apps that already use Mobile Vision features, check FaceDetector.isOperational() or BarcodeDetector.isOperational() to confirm detector readiness before using the face or barcode detector.
Auth

GoogleAuthUtil has moved to the -auth API split in the Google Play services SDK. If your app uses GoogleAuthUtil.getToken() you may see an error similar to the following:

Error:(xx, xx) error: package com.google.android.gms.auth does not exist

Error:(xx, xx) error: cannot find symbol variable GoogleAuthUtil

If you need to access the REST API on Android, include the -auth split in your build.gradle file:

compile 'com.google.android.gms:play-services-auth:9.0.1'

Otherwise, we recommend migrating your app to the Google Sign-In API to incorporate the latest improvements in security and user experience into your app. To learn more, see our guide to Google Sign In best practices.

Known Issues with version 9.0.0

If your app uses AdMob and also uses ProGuard post-processing, your app won't be able to serve ads to devices without the Google Play services APK unless you adjust your ProGuard configuration or update your app to use the Google Play services version 9.0.1 SDK. To ensure that ads are served to these devices after your app is updated to use the Google Play Services 9.0.0 SDK, add the following keep option to your ProGuard configuration file:

-keep public @com.google.android.gms.common.util.DynamiteApi class * { *; }

September 2015 - version 8.1

Highlights from the Google Play services 8.1 release.

Adds support for the Marshmallow Permissions model.
Play Games Player Stats API - A new API that lets you tailor player experiences to specific segments of players across the game lifecycle. Player segments are based on player progression, spend, and engagement.
Google Maps Android API - New support for ambient mode for wearable apps. Ambient mode is for always on apps, and is activated when the user is no longer actively using the app.
App Invites - You can now customize the email invitation sent from your app.
Nearby Messages API - Your app will receive callbacks when an active Nearby publish or subscribe expires.
Google Places API - Three new methods have been added to AutocompletePrediction, giving you easy access to the primary and secondary parts of the place description as well as the full text of the description. These methods replace the getDescription() and getMatchedSubstrings(), which are now deprecated. Refer to the Google Places API for Android release notes for more details.
Application Measurement - This release adds the measurement package, which contains features for collecting anonymous statistics on application events such as when a user first opens your application. While this data is not collected unless correctly configured, you may permanently opt-out of reporting these statistics by adding the following resource to your application:
```
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<resources>
   <integer name="google_app_measurement_enable">0</integer>
</resources>
```
- GoogleApiClient, PendingResult, and OptionalPendingResult are now abstract classes instead of interfaces. The signature of PendingResult.setResultCallback has changed from setResultCallback(ResultCallback<R> callback) to setResultCallback(ResultCallback<? super R> callback). An equivalent change has been made to setResultCallback that accepts a timeout parameter. If you were directly implementing these interfaces before, you’ll need to extend the abstract classes instead. If you used these classes for testing purposes, we recommend using the provided utility class PendingResults which can provide a Result that is either canceled or immediately available.
