When we talk Android we often conflate the Operating System with the primary developer - Google. However, Google-Android is just one part of the Android story with notable forks by way of Amazon's FireOS and OnePlus' OxygenOS.

In this talk, you will learn about;

1) the patterns that permit supporting Google-Android and non-Google Android from a single codebase,
2) the business trade-offs to consider when deciding to support an Android fork (or not),
3) the code and development workflow benefits to not explicitly relying on things like Google Play Services/Firebase Products,
4) what happens to your Google Play Services code when running on devices not part of the Open Handset Alliance (OHA),
5) the Amazon equivalents to the Google Developer Console, Publishing APIs, automated testing and alternative app stores.

Come and explore how to Android without "The Big G" and get your app onto as many Android devices as is physically possible!
