The latest version (v2) of Amplify Library for Android supports **Android SDK API 24: Android 7.0 (Nougat) and higher**. Amplify Library for Android is layered on the [AWS SDK for Kotlin](https://aws.amazon.com/sdk-for-kotlin). This allows for access to the AWS SDK for Kotlin for a breadth of service-centric APIs.

In addition to the underlying SDK changes, the following are the API changes you will notice from v1 to v2:

## Auth
- [signIn](/lib/auth/signin#sign-in-a-user) now returns result with `isSignedIn` instead of `isSignInComplete`
- [confirmResetPassword](/lib/auth/password_management#reset-password) API takes additional `username` parameter.
- [signOut](/lib/auth/signOut) now takes single `onComplete` parameter instead of `onSuccess` and `onError`.
- [fetchAuthSession](/lib/auth/access_credentials) now returns `identityIdResult` instead of `identityId`.
- `getCurrentUser` API is now asynchronous and requires `onSuccess` and `onError` parameters. `AuthUser` is returned in `onSuccess`
```kotlin
Amplify.Auth.getCurrentUser({ authUser ->
    Log.i("MyAmplifyApp", "Current User is $authUser")
}, { exception ->
    Log.e("MyAmplifyApp", "Error getting current user", exception)
})
```
- The escape hatch now provides access to the underlying `CognitoIdentityProviderClient` and `CognitoIdentityClient` instance. Read more [here](/lib/auth/escapehatch).
- Parameters `signInQueryParameters`, `signOutQueryParameters`, and `tokenQueryParameters` are dropped from `AuthWebUISignInOptions`.
- `federationProviderName` has been dropped from `AWSCognitoAuthWebUISignInOptions`.
- `signIn` will now return an error if you attempt to call sign in, while already signed in.
