At some point in the near future, we'll start an Impeller on Android preivew - and later make it the default. Unlike Skia, Impeller does not have a fallback software rendering mode. We'd like to stop suggesting this as an option now, and in the future remove the option to force software rendering.
Once impeller is the default, asking for software rendering on Android will result in either an error or falling back to Skia.
