Google announced on the 17th that it has announced the enlargement of the function of automatically resetting the application authority (permission permit) that is not used on Android (Android Developers Blog, The Verge article, ARS Technic article, 9TO5GOOGLE article.article).
The automatic reset function of the app is introduced in Android 11 (API 30), targeting execution (dangerous authority), such as accessing restricted data and executing restricted actions.Usually, the user's choice is remembered, but apps that have not been used for several months are reset, so you need to request authority again.
The target is Android 6, which uses Google Play Developer Service.The device after 0 (API 23) will be enabled sequentially from December.The automatic reset function is enabled by defaulting an app targeting API 30 or later, and the app that targets API 23 to 29 can manually enable users.
Mainly operating in the background and the developers of apps that do not require user operation can request users to disable automatic reset as needed, but do not need to change the code if they are not requested.The API, which requests the automatic reset disabled, is assumed to be used with the API 30 or later, and it is not necessary for API 23 to 29, which disables automatic reset by default.
Currently, the cross -platform automatic reset API is Jetpack Core 1.7.It is provided as a beta version in the beta library, and in October Jetpack Core 1.7.It will be available in the stable version of 0.Android 6, which uses Google Play Developer Services in December.It is said that it will gradually roll out to 0 to Android 10 devices, and will be introduced to all devices in the first quarter of 2022.Automatic reset will start a few weeks after the device is introduced.
