Homebrew package upgrades
JDK 8 is not preinstalled anymore
The old preinstalled Flutter version (3.7.12) has been removed. Flutter 3.22.0 remains preinstalled and is still the default.
Android SDK cleanups:
- Only the latest build-tools package (35) is preinstalled. Android Gradle Plugin automatically downloads any missing build-tools packages during configuration if the project requires a different version.
- Removed NDK 24.0.8215888 as it’s no longer the LTS release. The current LTS version (26.3.11579264) is still preinstalled.

Xcode 16.0 Beta 4 replaces Beta 3.
Gradle, Maven and Ant are no longer installed system-wide. We recommend pinning an exact version of the build tool and using the Gradle Wrapper and Maven Wrapper features.
