I didn't see anything in the Release Notes for the latest build that was 
Android 8.0-specific.  There was one Android-specific enhancement 
related to improved GPS time stamps, but I don't believe that's limited 
to Android 8.0.

What Android 8.0 features would you like to see supported that we don't 
have access to now?

The Release Notes are the best way to keep abreast of changes in the engine.

For ongoing work, I search the Dictionary for features I need, and so 
far what I've needed on mobile is available on both the iOS and Android 
builds of LiveCode.

As we see on the desktop, from time to time there will be a feature 
implemented for one platform but not others simply because the other 
OSes don't support it (Windows Registry, AppleScript, etc.).

With both desktop and mobile, OSes have become sufficiently commoditized 
that they tend to have far more in common than they have differences, 
which works out well for us (and those devs using any tool who are 
making money, since with a few exceptions the most popular apps in 
either app store are available for both).

Is there something LC supports on one platform but not another that 
you'd like to see added to the other?
