Impela lezi zindaba zinganakwa, kepha ukuletha inkumbulo yeGingerbread, inguqulo elandela leyo Froyo, icishe ibaluleke kakhulu kukodwa kunalokho kuzoba ukuntuleka kokusekelwa kwaleyo nguqulo 2.3, engikhumbula kahle ngenkathi ifakwa kwenye ye-Android yami; ukuthi umuntu wayefuna ukwazi futhi emangele kanjani naye.
Kwakuyisinyathelo esisodwa ngaphezulu esiya kulolo 7.1 esinalo namuhla elizungeze la makhasi. UGig G umemezele namuhla lokho kuzoqeda ukwesekwa kwe-Gingerbread kanye noju lwezinyosi kumasevisi we-Google Play. Inguqulo engu-1.0.0 yemitapo yolwazi yamakhasimende e-Google Play Services, njengaleyo yeklayenti le-Firebase ye-Android, izoba yinguqulo yokugcina yaleyo mitapo yolwazi enikeza ukusekelwa kweleveli 9 ye-Android API (i-Android 2.3, iGingerbread).
Uhlobo olulandelayo lokukhishwa kwaleyo mitapo yolwazi emisha, inguqulo engu-10.2.0, luhlelelwe ukukhishwa kusenesikhathi ngo-2017. Lokhu kuzokhuphula izinga eliphansi lokuxhaswa kuma-API 9 kuya ku-14 (i-Android 4.0.1, i-Ice Cream Sandwich). Uma sibheka izibalo zokusatshalaliswa kwe-Android iGoogle evamise ukuzishicilela ukugcina usesikhathini nokuthi lokhu kuhlukaniswa kuqhubeka kanjani ku-Android, amaphesenti ayi-1,3 kuphela wamadivayisi we-Android asene-Gingerbread ne-Ice Cream Sanwich.
Ngemuva kokuthuthukela enguqulweni engu-10.2.0 noma ngaphezulu, onjiniyela bazodinga ukwenza lokho bheka izinga le-14 le-API njengoba inguqulo encane isekelwa noma idala ama-APK amaningi asekela ama-API angaphansi kuka-14.
UDoug Stevenson, omunye wabathuthukisi, unamagama ambalwa:
Ipulatifomu yeGingerbread icishe ibe neminyaka eyisithupha manje. Abanye onjiniyela be-Android useyekile ukwesekwa Okwe-gingerbread kuzinhlelo zakho zokusebenza. Lokhu kuzisiza ukuthi zenze izinhlelo zokusebenza ezingcono ezisebenzisa amakhono amasha weplatifomu ye-Android. Kithina, isimo siyafana. Ngokwenza lolu shintsho, sizokwazi ukunikeza iqoqo eliqinile lamathuluzi lonjiniyela be-Android ngesilinganiso esisheshayo.
