Additionally, Preview 2 also includes Google Play Services 7.6 and some “near-final” APIs for developers.

The Android M Developer Preview program is designed for software authors to test apps and games for the next official release, as well as to report bugs and concerns.

Launched in late May at Google I/O, the code is expected to see another update in late July before the final release in Q3 (autumn, if you’re in the Northern Hemisphere).

Available for the Nexus 5 , Nexus 6, Nexus 9 and Nexus Player , devs can install the new release via an over-the-air update, or manually download it here.

Now, who do I talk to about getting Google Now on Tap into that developer preview?
