From my personal roadmap:

Drop AccountManager support

This is causing a lot of authentication issues on Fire TV preventing users from using the app. The gain of this functionality is minimal but the complexity is high. Dropping the support means storing the access tokens somewhere else and migrating existing logins.

The migration will not work on all Android devices (at least everything below Lolipop, API 22, will not work). In this case the user needs to sign in manually again. It should work on pretty much all other devices (tested on Fire TV/Shield).

Changes

  • Remove AccountManager support
  • Migrate AccountManager access tokens to AuthenticationStore

The migration is in a second commit which can be reverted after 0.16 is released to clean up the manifest entries etc.
