According to https://developer.amazon.com/post/Tx3AXKIA2U3GDY/Amazon-Announces-new-Kindle-Fire-Tablets-and-Fire-OS-3-0.html https://developer.amazon.com/post/Tx3AXKIA2U3GDY/Amazon-Anno... it is based off Android 4.2.2 (API 17).
- wging 13y agoLooks like https://developer.amazon.com/sdk/fire/specifications.html https://developer.amazon.com/sdk/fire/specifications.html has been updated as well.
- hrjet 13y agoWhy do they never mention full specs on that page! Some of the Kindle devices don't have a compass and/or GPS. This leads to endless frustration with app users.
- dualogy 13y agoThe really interesting question for mobile devs and Android aficionados -- does it also run all Android apps that 4.2.2 runs? Resubmitting to Amazon's App Store -- OK. Redeveloping for some "Fire OS" -- nope, thanks..
- objclxt 13y ago> does it also run all Android apps that 4.2.2 runs? This very much depends on your definition of Android. If you have used any Google Play Services (or any Google-backed APIs within Android itself, prior to migration to Play Services) you will need to switch them over to Amazon's equivalents (where they exist). Since Google is heavily pushing Play Services to developers, chances are many apps will need to have some changes made to them to enable Kindle Fire support.
