Web visits from devices running Android 4.3  - an as yet unannounced version – have been showing up at various Android-related sites, including 9to5google.com - suggesting a possible launch at the Google I/O developer’s conference on May 15-17.

The Mountain View location (Google’s HQ) and Android Authority logs revealing that most of the devices running 4.3 were Nexus devices do tend to suggest the profiles are genuine …

Naturally, user agent profiles can always be faked, but why would anyone go through all that trouble just to try to fool a few tech websites and their readers.

Similarly, we have spotted Android 4.2.2 and Android 4.2 builds in our server logs ahead of their respective launches, so it would make sense to see traces of Google’s next Android versions appear with just a few weeks to go until Google I/O kicks off.

Google’s next major Android release, 5.0, is rumored to be called Key Lime Pie – the latest in Google’s dessert-based names. Although it has been suggested this might be launched at Google I/O, the server logs tend to suggest otherwise.

1. must be built for iOS devices with Retina display and iPhone apps must also support the 4-inch display on iPhone 5

2. will no longer accept new apps or app updates that access UDIDs

Cordova/PhoneGap fulfills requirement (1) since version 2.5.0 and fulfills requirement (2) since version 1.7.0.

But what if my Cordova/PhoneGap app, which I am unwilling to upgrade, needs to be updated and submitted to the App Store?

You will have to manually update and patch your code. It’s not going to be an easy task, and I should warn you that upgrading will be easier. The main changes are to handle the iPhone 5 sized splashscreen, and the code to handle that is only in Cordova/PhoneGap 2.5.0. You can include the iPhone 5 sized asset and this will trigger the app to be the right size, but because of our splashscreen support it needs to match iOS showing the splashscreen after that splashscreen disappears. See our SplashScreen API for more details.

To be doubly sure – select your project icon in the Project Navigator in Xcode, then select the Summary tab. Select your project target then review the App Icons and Launch Images sections – you’ll see if you are missing anything or whether the assets are not the right sizes (denoted by the yellow triangle icon with an exclamation point in it).
