Unless I am misreading the Nougat (Android 7) changes specs, CC will never natively support Nougat. The reason: yet again the Android folks are breaking file permissions. This is what they did:

Sharing Files Between Apps
For apps targeting Android 7.0, the Android framework enforces the StrictMode API policy that prohibits exposing file:// URIs outside your app. If an intent containing a file URI leaves your app, the app fails with a FileUriExposedException exception.

To share files between applications, you should send a content:// URI and grant a temporary access permission on the URI. The easiest way to grant this permission is by using the FileProvider class. For more information on permissions and sharing files, see Sharing Files.
This change means that CC cannot pass paths to book files to reader apps, which is obviously unacceptable. IF an app targets Marshmallow (Android 6) then (at least for now) the restrictions are not enforced.
