What is Nokia X Software Platform 2.0

Portability (I)

• Minimal effort or no porting effort at all for Android applications at the same API level 16:

• 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

• Nokia Notifications
