What is Nokia X Software Platform 2.0
Portability (I)

• App doesn’t use Google specific platform APIs
• Same binary can be used on Nokia X or any Android device
• Unity 3D games (with compatible options)
• Applications utilizing native libraries with NDK (as long as correct architecture is in use)
Portability (II)
• Porting required:
• App uses Google APIs, not found in AOSP
• For apps using APIs such as Google Billing, Google Maps, Cloud to Device Messaging (C2DM) and Google Cloud Messaging (GCM) Nokia provides wrappers and porting documentation for following services: • HERE Maps
• Nokia In-App Payment
