Google keeps bringing new updates from time to time for its users. US-based tech giant Google is improving the application launch speed on Android devices. The update to the Google Play System for Android Runtime (ART) will bring improved performance, security improvements, and supported core APIs to millions of devices, including Android 12+.
The upcoming update will soon be available on the 'Go' version as well. Google has improved its performance tremendously with the ART 14 update. Let us tell you about it in detail.
For those who are not familiar with the Android Runtime, it is the engine behind the Android Operating System (OS). ART powers the apps and the OS service. ART handles the Java and Kotlin code from which the apps run. When it's better, all apps get better and run faster.
iPhones and iPads are known for being fast and smooth when it comes to opening and closing apps. Users were complaining about the slow app launch so Google has decided to bring a new ART update to make the app start up to 30 percent faster.
The testing process for Android runtime updates includes compiling over 18 million APKs running app-supported testing, and startup, performance, and memory benchmarks on a variety of Android devices. The blog post states that after all this, the updates are rolled out gradually.
With ART 13, Google saw the fastest-ever adoption of the new OpenJDK version on Android devices. ART 14 is launching in the coming months with new compiler and runtime optimizations that improve performance while reducing code size.
