| 27 | <p>Android devices come in many shapes and sizes all around the world. With a wide range of device |
| 28 | types, you have an opportunity to reach a huge audience with your app. In order to be as successful |
| 29 | as possible on Android, your app needs to adapt to various device configurations. Some of the |
| 30 | important variations that you should consider include different languages, screen sizes, and |

| 34 | resources and other features so your app can provide an optimized user experience on a |
| 35 | variety of Android-compatible devices, using a single application package (APK).</p> |
