You said, if you first post, that you got Marshmallow *on your device* and that the widgets failed to update.

Even if they made changes to Widgets from 6.0 forward, that should not effect current apps in the wild. That would be A Dick Move™ on Google's part and would break thousands of apps. > In any case...

It's our responsibility as developers to keep up.
