Not necessarily. Applications may also rely on CPU architecture, graphics capabilities, system services, device certification, and real hardware.
Understand the essentials
The Android version only covers part of the conditions, and the virtual environment may still be different from a certain brand of physical machine.
A practical example
Hypothetical example: a normal page can be opened, but the camera or login function fails. This is an example of functional compatibility.
What to check or try
- List application core tasks.
