@grishka I imagine there’s still a lot of non standard android designs that need to be accounted for.

Sean, no. Material design themes are part of Google's CTS from the beginning.

@grishka I’m not sure I consider 2014 the “beginning”. It’s a nice catch-up if a vendor supports it.

Sean, the beginning of material design. Before that, yes, it was a mess. It was still a mess when you had to support 4.x. It was an absolute shitshow when you had to support 2.x (your app would sometimes crash on some devices somewhere deep inside TextView because they implemented their own buggy support for emoji).

CTS is a test suite that an OEM skin must fully pass to be officially considered Android and allowed to ship with Google apps. It very thoroughly tests all public APIs in that they all behave as specified in the docs.
