[Android Apps]: Kodi 18.8 "Leia" Now Available

New Kodi version is ready to download, the popular mediaplayer Kodi alias "Leia" reached its version 18.8, an update that gives us bug fixes and brings us a little closer to the next Kodi 19 where we will really see important changes in the system. Since version 18 we have substantial changes in its internal code that make for example the compatible skins although for this latest version there are only a few, since they need to be updated in each new version.
