Supported releases and pre-releases are available on this page. Canary releases are available on ci.android.com. Unsupported releases can be found here.

Note: canaries, betas, and release candidates should not be used for production, but are a great way for you to find and report bugs early, before they make it to a stable release.

The NDK releases on a roughly quarterly basis. One release a year is designated as a Long Term Support (LTS) release that will receive backports until the next LTS is released. Each version is first released as a beta and then a release candidate before being shipped to stable. Multiple betas and release candidates are a possibility if the first beta does not meet our promotion criteria, but there will always be at least one of each. For details, see NDK Release Process.
