* The release notes are available here: https://appdevforall.org/code-on-the-go-release-notes-26-35/

And here's some big news: In next week's release (26.36), we plan to update the core development stack for the 64-bit app to Kotlin 2.3.21 and AGP 9.3.1. TOML-based version catalogs will also be available.

This will be a breaking change! If you install next week's release, you may need to follow the steps in our migration guide (link below) to update your projects.

* The migration guide is here: https://github.com/appdevforall/CodeOnTheGo/wiki/IMPORTANT:-Fix-project-breaking-changes-after-the-Gradle-AGP-Kotlin-toolchain-upgrade

* An article with more details about the changes is here: https://appdevforall.org/modernizing-the-build-stack-benefits-and-breaking-changes/

IMPORTANT:

Hey, everyone! Please read this progress update:

Last week, we announced a toolchain upgrade with breaking changes for tomorrow's release (September 1). That upgrade is now postponed because we'd rather get the transition right than rush it out. So, it will NOT be included tomorrow. We'll keep you informed about this so you have early notice. In the meantime, please check the following link, which provides important details:
https://appdevforall.org/modernizing-the-build-stack-benefits-and-breaking-changes/

Thanks for your patience!

Please check out two recent additions to the Code on the Go video library:

First, this video provides full instructions on completing and installing an entire Java app with Code on the Go:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q1I-xUuMs2s

Specifically, the app is a weight converter for kilograms and pounds. When you're finished, you can install the app directly on the same device to test its functionality. A written version where you can copy/paste the code is available here:
https://appdevforall.org/codeonthego/help/tutorials.html

Second, this video provides five helpful tips for customizing and operating the UI:

If you have ideas for new videos, we would love to hear about them! Please check out our forum for this:

Also, the release notes provide details on everything new this week:

Important to note: The Plugin Manager has been replaced with the Extensions Manager, which lets you manage plugins as well as templates. You can find the Extensions Manager in Preferences.

Thank you! Happy coding!

Hi, everyone!

* Release 26.37 is available here: https://appdevforall.org/code-on-the-go/
* The release notes are available here: https://appdevforall.org/code-on-the-go-release-notes-26-37/

And, news about the toolchain upgrade: In next week's release (26.38), we plan to update the core development stack for the 64-bit app to Kotlin 2.3.21 and AGP 9.3.1. TOML-based version catalogs will also be available.

This will be a breaking change! If you install next week's release, you may need to follow the steps in our migration guide (link below) to update your projects. We strongly recommend backing up your projects before beginning migration.

* The migration guide is here: https://github.com/appdevforall/CodeOnTheGo/wiki/IMPORTANT:-Fix-project-breaking-changes-after-the-Gradle-AGP-Kotlin-toolchain-upgrade

* An article with more details about the changes is here: https://appdevforall.org/modernizing-the-build-stack-benefits-and-breaking-changes/

* If you'd like to test-drive a prerelease version of the new toolchain, you can download it here: https://appdevforall.org/test-the-new-toolchain-in-a-prerelease-apk/ (This APK does not include today's new features.)

IMPORTANT: This post contains information about major toolchain upgrades occurring on September 15, 2026!

These changes are not merely incremental updates. They are a major leap forward for Code on the Go, providing greater stability, improved performance, and a standardized development environment so you can focus on Kotlin code instead of build configurations. As a result, this upgrade introduces breaking changes. Specifically, please prepare for:

Gradle 8.14.4 ⇨ 9.6.1
AGP 8.11.0 ⇨ 9.3.1
Kotlin 1.9.22 ⇨ 2.3.21

The following link provides a discussion thread:

A YouTube video is also available here:

Thank you!

In Code on the Go, the Extensions Manager recently replaced the Plugin Manager. You can now manage your plugins and templates from one convenient location. If you haven't had time to check this feature out, you might be interested in our video quick guide:

Hey, everyone!

You can now download release 26.38 of Code on the Go, which includes the new toolchain:
https://appdevforall.org/code-on-the-go/

Gradle 8.14.4 ⇨ 9.6.1
AGP 8.11.0 ⇨ 9.3.1
Kotlin 1.9.22 ⇨ 2.3.21

PLEASE NOTE: Due to these changes, your existing projects may not build until you follow the migration guide:
https://github.com/appdevforall/CodeOnTheGo/wiki/IMPORTANT:-Fix-project-breaking-changes-after-the-Gradle-AGP-Kotlin-toolchain-upgrade

A video version of the same guide is available:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgX7ewTEJ_E

CoGo 26.38 also includes a couple of changes I’ll mention here:

First, a "Made with Code on the Go" watermark can now be added to commits you make from the Git bottom sheet. Because that code often ends up on a public host like GitHub, the watermark tells reviewers that the contribution came from a phone-only workflow, and puts Code on the Go's name in real, working code out in the world. You'll see a preview of the watermark in the bottom sheet before you commit. You can turn the watermark off for a single project right from the commit section of the Git bottom sheet, or disable it everywhere in Preferences → Git.

Second, a new Document Outline is available for Java, Kotlin, and XML files, so you can jump straight to any class, method, or field instead of scrolling.

For complete information on these changes, please see the release notes:
https://appdevforall.org/code-on-the-go-release-notes-26-38/

Finally, please visit our support forum if you have questions, want to post one of your projects, or would like to talk with other CoGo users:

Thanks for using the app!

IMPORTANT UPDATE!
Hey, everyone! An important update was just included to fix the crash caused by Google's new decimal SDK version numbers (for example, 36.1 or 37.0). The app now reads those numbers correctly, so projects using the newer SDK versions should work normally. You can download release 26.38.1, which includes everything from 26.38 plus this fix:
https://appdevforall.org/code-on-the-go/

Please let me know if you have questions!
