Align the Chat SDK with the shared Android toolchain (Chat/Video parity). Toolchain: - AGP 8.10.1 -> 9.1.1, Gradle 8.11.1 -> 9.3.1, JDK 21 CI - compileSdk/targetSdk/sampleTargetSdk -> 37 (suppressUnsupportedCompileSdk=37) - streamConventions -> 0.13.2-SNAPSHOT (AGP 9), macroBenchmark -> 1.5.0-alpha07 - Add Central snapshots repo for Stream snapshot plugins AGP 9 compatibility (transitional; remove before AGP 10): - android.builtInKotlin=false, android.newDsl=false so the standalone Kotlin plugin keeps working (avoids duplicate `kotlin` extension and the TestExtension -> BaseExtension cast failure) Remove gitVersioner: - It calls the Gradle-9-removed Project.exec(Action); derive the sample-app version from git directly in sample-app-versioner.gradle Migrate deprecated DSL (hard errors on AGP 9): - packagingOptions -> packaging, lintOptions -> lint - kotlinOptions -> compilerOptions, managedDevices.devices -> allDevices - composeCompiler: drop enableStrongSkippingMode, stabilityConfigurationFiles

DB Entities have been updated. Do we need to upgrade DB Version? |
2. Add logic to fix robolectric and paprazzi runs 3. Update paparazzi for Agp 9+
Paparazzi 2.0.0-alpha05's layoutlib is unstable rendering at API 37: any HandlerThread hits Thread.setPosixNicenessInternal, and Popup dismissal hits a null WindowManager child list. API 36 is alpha05's stable ceiling. Keep the module on compileSdk 37 but render at 36 by overriding only the Paparazzi environment: detectEnvironment().copy(compileSdkVersion = 36). - Add a createPaparazzi(...) factory to PaparazziComposeTest and PaparazziViewTest that applies the override. - Route every Paparazzi test call site through the factory. Goldens must be re-recorded at API 36 via the record-paparazzi workflow + scripts/paparazzi-pull-goldens.sh. Remove the override once Paparazzi supports API 37.
Gradle 9 no longer auto-provisions org.junit.platform:junit-platform-launcher on the test runtime classpath. stream-chat-android-core calls useJUnitPlatform() directly (unlike the Android modules, which get the launcher from the android-junit5 plugin), so its :test task failed with "Failed to load JUnit Platform". Declare the launcher explicitly.
…ry configuration. Shot (in the sample apps) drags an old androidx.test (core 1.5.0 / monitor 1.6.0 / storage 1.4.2) onto the main runtime classpath

Google Developer Android 17 API 37 large screen resize orientation activity recreation targetSdk behavior
💡 Result:
For apps targeting Android 17 (API level 37) or higher, significant changes to orientation, resizability, and activity recreation behavior take effect, particularly on large screen devices (smallest width >= 600dp) [1][2][3]. Key behavioral changes and targetSdk requirements for API 37: 1. Mandatory Adaptive Behavior: On large screens (sw >= 600dp), apps targeting API 37 or higher can no longer restrict orientation, resizability, or aspect ratio [1][2][3]. Restrictions such as android:screenOrientation, android:resizableActivity, and fixed aspect ratio attributes are ignored [1]. The system no longer uses pillarboxing for these apps; they are required to fill the available display window [1]. 2. Activity Recreation and Configuration Changes: Because these apps must adapt to frequent changes in window size, orientation, and aspect ratio, the system will, by default, trigger an Activity recreation during these events [2][4]. To maintain user state and avoid data loss, developers are strongly encouraged to implement robust state preservation (e.g., ViewModel, savedInstanceState) [2][4]. 3. Opt-in for Handling Changes: If you prefer to handle these configuration changes yourself rather than letting the system recreate the activity, you must update your manifest to include the relevant configuration changes [5][4]. Specifically, adding android:configChanges="orientation|screenSize|smallestScreenSize|screenLayout" to your activity declaration will prevent the activity from restarting during these transitions [5][4]. In this case, the activity will instead receive a callback to onConfigurationChanged [5]. 4. New Default for Specific Configuration Changes: Note that starting in API 37, the system no longer restarts activities by default for several configuration changes that typically do not require full UI recreation, such as keyboard, navigation, and touch screen updates [5]. In summary, targeting API 37 mandates that your app be fully adaptive on large screens, removing previously available opt-outs for fixed orientations or aspect ratios [1][3]. Developers should focus on state preservation or explicit configuration handling to ensure a smooth user experience during the frequent resizing and rotation common in modern large-screen and multi-window environments [2][4].

Google Developer Android 17 SDK 37 behavior changes targetSdk compatibility
💡 Result:
Android 17 (API level 37) was released in June 2026 [1][2]. Apps targeting this version are subject to several significant behavior changes aimed at improving performance, security, and consistent UI behavior across device form factors [3][4][5]. Key behavior changes for apps targeting Android 17 (SDK 37) include: Large Screen Constraints: Apps can no longer opt out of orientation, resizability, or aspect ratio constraints on large screens (sw >= 600dp) [4][6][5]. Legacy manifest attributes (e.g., screenOrientation, resizeableActivity) and runtime APIs (e.g., setRequestedOrientation) are ignored, though games are exempt [6][5]. MessageQueue Performance: Android 17 introduces a lock-free implementation of android.os.MessageQueue [3][5]. This may break applications that use reflection to access private fields or methods within MessageQueue [3][5]. Static Field Restrictions: Apps targeting API 37 cannot modify static final fields using reflection [3]. Attempts to do so via reflection will result in an IllegalAccessException, and using JNI APIs (such as SetStaticLongField) will cause the application to crash [3]. Dynamic Code Loading (DCL): Safer DCL protections are extended to native libraries [5]. All native files loaded via System.load must be marked as read-only, or the system will throw an UnsatisfiedLinkError [5]. SMS OTP Protection: The system extends SMS OTP protection to standard SMS messages (those not using WebOTP or SMS Retriever formats) [3]. These messages are withheld from the SMS provider database and the SMS_RECEIVED_ACTION broadcast for three hours after receipt to prevent OTP hijacking [3]. Bluetooth and Keystore Limits: BluetoothSocket RFCOMM implementations now align with standard Java InputStream behavior [4]. Additionally, the system enforces a limit of 50,000 keys per app in the Android Keystore for non-system apps targeting API 37 [7]. For compatibility, developers should use the Android 17 SDK [8]. Google Play requirements mandate that new apps and updates must target at least Android 16 (API 36) by August 31, 2026 [9][10]. While migrating to API 37 is not yet a Play Store requirement as of August 2026, it is recommended for leveraging new features like the standardized Android Contact Picker [11]. Developers are encouraged to use the Android SDK Upgrade Assistant in Android Studio for assistance with these transitions [8].

@VelikovPetar, confirmed: the visible CI configuration does not run on Android 17/API 37.
Current emulator coverage is:
- E2E default: API 36.
- Backend E2E: API 34.
- Scheduled E2E: API 28.
- Snapshot tests: API 27.
The remaining recommendation is focused manual testing before release. Test the two sample applications on an Android 17/API 37 tablet or foldable emulator. Verify rotation, split-screen resizing, activity recreation, and the main chat and composer flows. This is relevant because both sample manifests set android:screenOrientation="portrait", which Android 17 can ignore on large screens.

Avoid an early-closing pipeline consumer.
When more than 30 snapshot paths change, head -30 can close the pipe before git status finishes. With pipefail, the script can then exit nonzero after it stages the changes. Use a consumer that reads the complete input.

Snapshots are pruned after some time, so this commit will start failing once that happens.
I'd publish a stable conventions version. We can use a version suffix if we want to keep the version separated from the regular ones for now.

Can't we regenerate them locally like today? I checked on my machine and:
- When recording: some snapshots change, but the image diff shows 0 or close to 0 pixel changes
- When running validation: the check passes
I'd avoid having to rely on CI for regenerating snapshots if possible, as it will slow us down compared to today.
Also one less workflow + script to maintain.

I wouldn't use temporary branch names. We can publish a release with a version suffix (e.g. 0.14.0-sdk37, 1.0.0-beta, or something along those lines) and point to that. Adding support in GetStream/stream-build-conventions-android#73
Aside from that, this seems incorrect. The step was using an action but now points to a workflow 🤔

I'd remove this comment tbh. gitVersioner won't be in the repo anymore so it's not something a reader will care about + we don't have to justify that the execute function works.

This turns a golden mismatch into a green test.
I had Claude dig into it. It instrumented this method and ran the full compose suite on macOS: 398/400 snapshots take the clean path, 2 take the swallow path (AudioRecordingButtonTest > button hold and > button locked, both cashapp/paparazzi#2373). It then perturbed all four snapshots in that class by ~50% of pixels and re-ran verifyPaparazziDebug:
button idle FAIL Images differ (by 48.199162%)
button overview FAIL Images differ (by 49.103992%)
button hold PASS
button locked PASS
Paparazzi wrote a delta image for all four, so it caught the mismatch every time — but on the swallowed ones the teardown NPE masks the AssertionError and this catch eats it. The KDoc premise holds for the capture, not for the assertion: those two tests can no longer fail.
Splitting the two mechanisms keeps the coverage. They carry different risk:
dropKnownLayoutlibBugErrors()is safe to keep — it only filters Paparazzi's internal logger list by those two signatures, and a golden-mismatchAssertionErrornever lands there.- The
try/catcharoundsnapshot()is the part that eats assertions.
So: drop the try/catch, and @Ignore("cashapp/paparazzi#2373") the two tests that genuinely can't render (button hold, button locked). That leaves 398 snapshots asserting and 2 visibly disabled, instead of 400 that all look green.

It seems Gradle 9 silently disables our Gradle Enterprise plugin. The build on this branch prints:
Gradle Enterprise plugin 3.7 has been disabled as it is incompatible with this version of Gradle.
Upgrade to Gradle Enterprise plugin 3.13.1 or newer to restore functionality.
We should likely bump it (I think it's called Develocity now).

It isn't Shot — it's debugImplementation(libs.androidx.fragment.testing) at stream-chat-android-ui-components-sample/build.gradle.kts:176. That's the pre-fragment-1.6 pattern (before the fragment-testing-manifest split), so it lands fragment-testing and its old androidx.test:core:1.5.0 directly on demoDebugRuntimeClasspath — which is where the strict constraint AGP can't reconcile comes from.
It's also unused: that module has no androidTest source set and never touches FragmentScenario.
I removed that line and this block together and re-resolved: ui-components-sample, compose-sample and ui-uitests androidTest classpaths all resolve, and the {strictly androidx.test:*} constraints disappear. ui-uitests does use FragmentScenario, but its existing exclude(module = "monitor") already covers it.
Worth preferring that: force silently overrides every configuration in every module, and this block leaves the debug APK shipping fragment-testing anyway (just at 1.6.1). It also means "remove when Shot is retired/updated" can never actually fire.

Is this config needed because of some failure? I see we're setting it in code in test classes to sdk 33. Same for the ui-common counterpart

Goal
Build against compileSdk / targetSdk 37 (Android 17) and align with the shared Android toolchain (AGP 9 / Gradle 9), matching the Video SDK.
Summary
Getting to compileSdk 37 required moving the whole toolchain to AGP 9.1.1 / Gradle 9.3.1 / JDK 21 (AGP 8.10.1 doesn’t officially support API 37, and the shared-toolchain goal targets AGP 9). That, in turn, cascaded into a set of dependency, CI, build-script and test-infrastructure fixes — Gradle 9 removed several implicit conveniences the old build relied on, and Paparazzi/Shot needed rework for AGP 9 + API 37.
Notable: no production source code changes were required — chat was already on Kotlin 2.2, so none of the Kotlin-2 strictness fixes the Video SDK needed applied here. Every change below is build config, CI, or test infrastructure.
