The Validic team is hard at work on adding new devices to our ecosystem and we expect to have several new launches in Q2 of this year. In the meantime, please be aware of the following important integration updates:

### Google Fit Update:

- Google has announced a required update to the Fit APIs. [Details can be found here](http://developers.google.com/fit/improvements)[.](https://go.validic.com/e/710103/fit-improvements/vfwd3/211688890?h=7G3TOiJPEMXPajuiyuzx1tf5uW7Hs-E5JLH6_xcFOA4)
- If you are using a Validic Mobile SDK integration to Google Fit, there are updates you will need to make before Google’s enforcement date of **27 April 2021**.
  - Validic has released a new Mobile SDK (v1.12.13) which includes support for Fit SDK 20.0.0. You must update your app to use this SDK version.
  - You must update your app to Fit SDK version 20.0.0
  - You must resubmit your app for Google’s OAuth verification process, [detailed here.](https://developers.google.com/fit/improvements#strengthening_the_review_system_for_apps_using_google_fit)

More details will be provided as we learn more from Google about this update.

### Samsung Health Update

- A new version of the Samsung Health app is expected at the end of March 2021 (app version 6.16). At that time, Samsung Health app support will be dropped for older Android devices running Android Nougat 7.0 or lower.
- For users on phones running Android 7.0 or lower, the Samsung Health app will still run, however, they will no longer be able to update the app going forward. Samsung has sent an official email notice of this change to registered developers. [You can also find more information here.](https://www.sammobile.com/news/samsung-health-dropping-support-older-galaxy-devices/)

There are plenty of security and functional benefits to upgrading to a more recent Android version. Those users who can update their device should consider doing so. If they cannot upgrade to at least Android Oreo 8.0, they should consider upgrading their device.
