[android][infra] Validate .NET 10 Android functionality across different API versions #107868

Closed

Description

@matouskozak

Why

Android versions come with broad range of different API versions. Currently, most of our testing uses only API 29 (e.g. Android emulators Ubuntu.2204.Amd64.Android.29.Open). However, in .NET 10, we support API levels 21 and higher. We should periodically test functionality on different API versions.

How

There is a prepared set of emulator queues with different API versions with naming: ubuntu.2204.amd64.android.<API> (where <API> goes from 21 to 32, if needed ask dnceng to include other API levels). To validate the functionality, we can open a PR which sends Android emulator jobs to all these different queues. An example of past PR used to validate different API versions #106951, #64341. Finally, we must verify the results from all queues to make sure the functionality is correct across supported API levels.

What

This verification makes the most sense to be done on the pre-release branch of dotnet/runtime. Optionally, we can also verify servicing branches if we await any issues. Throughout the release cycle, this validation should be performed periodically to prevent unexpected issues caused by un-tested API levels.

This verification should be performed periodically throughout the Preview and RC release cycle, an example of verification schedule:

    re: #112493, for the next iteration we need to include emulator versions up to Android 16 (API 36). cc: @simonrozsival

    #115330 did not show any new regressions, all test failures were already known and have tracking issues.

    The only failure which stands out seems to be #115480 which seems to be an infra issue (code runs on x86 emulators instead of x64).

    Just tracking the work to validate .NET 10 at RC2.
