• Platform Notes

Android front-end

margaret, ally, liuche, mcomella, sebastian, (nalexander/rnewman)

• Started landing settings reorganization patches
• Shareplane in top-level menu backed out of 44
• Continued work on push notifications
• Starting new family-friendly browsing work
• Discussing plan for unified telemetry
• Discussing plan for connected & offline content
• Summary of work planned for next 6 weeks
• Robocop test sources moved into mobile/android/tests/browser/robocop/src/org/mozilla/gecko, improving Gradle configuration. No fallout.
• [nalexander] artifact builds (--disable-compile-environment) no longer require (or use!) an Android NDK. File fallout against Bug 1220476.
• [nalexander] In Push meeting at this time. Autopush HTTP REST API in flux, partly due to secreview, partly due to first consumer (us!) coming to the table.
