We're excited to bring you this update to the Android 8.1 system image because it is now a CTS compliant image that includes the Play Store!





We've also fixed the following major issues:





https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/70919913 - API 27 images have no ro.opengles.version set

https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/73230983 - E/Google Maps Android API: Google Maps Android API v2 only supports devices with OpenGL ES 2.0 and above

https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/70823706 - 27 API emulator is very laggy.





This API 27 image also contains a working implementation of Camera HAL3 ( https://source.android.com/devices/camera/camera3 ), allowing developers to use the latest camera APIs.
