Conclusion

  1. Notification Channels (Android 8+): If your game/app sends notifications, you must create a Notification Channel, or they won't show up.
  2. Permissions (Android 9+): If you use the camera or record audio, you must request runtime permissions explicitly.
  3. Scoped Storage (Android 10): If your game saves files (like screenshots), you must use context.getExternalFilesDir() or the MediaStore API; you cannot just write anywhere on the SD card anymore.
