This release marks the official release of MapLibre Android with Vulkan support. Vulkan is a modern graphics API which brings advantages such as improved performance, improved observability and better stability. Specifically, starting with this version we are releasing multiple versions of MapLibre Android:

  • org.maplibre.gl:android-sdk (still OpenGL ES for now, might default to another rendering backend or might choose depending on device support in a future major release).
  • org.maplibre.gl:android-sdk-opengl (OpenGL ES).
  • org.maplibre.gl:android-sdk-vulkan (Vulkan).

Stability has proven to be excellent, but there are a few known issues with Vulkan that will be addressed in a future update.

Currently it is not possible to choose a backend at runtime. If you care about supporting devices that only support OpenGL ES and you want to use Vulkan, you will need to produce and ship multiple APKs. Please see this issue if you are interested in choosing a rendering backend during initialization.

Thanks to everyone who helped test the pre-releases!
