To ensure Flutter apps work properly on Android 16, we need to update the physical devices we test against to Android 16. We currently test against the following physical devices:

• Pixel 7 Pro
• Samsumg Galaxy S24
  - Mokey Devices
• Firebase Test Lab (shiba, a SDK 34 device and a few others testing against older SDKs)

Prerequisites

• Updating to Android 16 is available on Pixel 7 Pro
• Updating to Android 16 is available on Samsung Galaxy S24 (will support but no ETA on the releasae date here and here)
• A SDK 36 device is available in Firebase Test Lab
