The following apps do not function or sort of function in the developer preview of Android "L". If you need any of these apps, do not upgrade until the issue is resolved.

Please add to the list if you find more.

Do not work:
Twitter - FC's every time (update: Twitter Beta works)
HBO Go - Says not compatible. Can't even download
Asphalt 8 - Game downloads fine, but will FC before it loads a race.
TextMe
Helium Backup
Zen Pinball
Engadget - Immediate FC
Firefox Browser - Immediate FC
Opera Browser - Immediate FC
Boat Browser - A nice blank, bright white screen. Think Flashlight app.
Dolphin Browser - Immediate FC
Photoshop Touch - Touch input isn't recognized
Plex for Plexpass - can't load. Get unknown error code 112 during install
Dungeon Keeper - FC
Vine - Won't load. Immediate FC.
Modern Combat 4 - Immediate FC
Google Docs - unknown error install 112
Google Sheets - unknown error install 112
Amazon Kindle - FC
SHO anytime - FC

Sort of work:
Facebook/chatsheads - Comments are see through
Dropbox - Works for some and not others???
UC Browser - Can download and open, but search function doesn't work. Can't add favorites.
Tapatalk pro - works for the most part except you can't load any PM's or notification posts
Hangout- adding contact info via Hangouts may oray not work

Helium Backup and Zen Pinball don't work.

----------

Dropbox isn't working for me either. But thats not a problem for me. I use Copy anyways. Way more free space.

Facebook doesn't let you load comments. Well you can, but the background doesn't appear, so the contents are all see through.

Can't send picture text on Hangout app, not sure if this is just my problem. I'm able to send regular text just can't send or receive pictures.

Wow that's a pretty extensive list. Have any of the devs stated when they might be upgraded?

Depends on if the devs download the latest SDK and then update their apps.

I imagine large vendors like Facebook will fix it pretty quickly. Small vendors may wait until the official release of L.

I continue to find more apps that don't work and keep checking to see if revs have updated their apps. Please continue to post here when/if you find issues or things get fixed. Thanks.

I read it on Reddit. It also includes heads up notifications.

I'll keep looking out for an update. Thanks for the heads up.
I'm pretty sure FB, Twitter, Gameloft etc will get their apps compliant by the end of this week.

Edit: just downloaded the beta and confirm that it works.
