| Feature | Status on KitKat | |---------|------------------| | | Partial – may fail on apps requiring newer auth APIs | | FCM (Push Notifications) | Works for legacy apps only | | Google Maps SDK | Basic vector maps only; no 3D or real-time traffic | | Location APIs | Works (fused location provider) | | SafetyNet / Play Integrity | Fails completely – deprecated for API < 21 | | In-app Updates / Reviews | Not supported | | Google Drive / Sheets integration | Limited – requires older app versions | 6.
