We’re trying to make the Android build approval process quick and smooth. To achieve this goal, our portal team is working hard to introduce a new feature in Android Partner Approvals (APA) portal (previously called APFE) called Waiver Proposal.

The Waiver Proposal user guide provides details on this feature and its use.

We are following up on our intention to increase enforcement for devices that have pre-installed apps that modify sensitive security settings, such as Google Play Protect (GPP). Older versions of GMS Core (prior to v17.4.x) include this behavior.

Please be aware that if a build you have submitted or plan to submit for approval contains an older version of GMS Core (prior to v17.4.x), it will be considered to contain a PHA (Potentially Harmful Application) and may render the device not eligible for a GMS approval.

On June 13th, we received reports that the Android System was consuming significant data traffic on Android 5.1 devices. After analysing the issue, we found the high uplink traffic is from the mDNS system daemon. A recently added feature in Google Play services Version 17.1.22 used the NsdManager APIs which triggered a latent bug that existed in older versions of Android (i.e., pre-Android 8.0). The real issue is the old mDNS code -- mDNS can go into an infinite loop on some pre-Android 8.0 devices.

Please be aware that if a package or binary in your software build executes “setenforce 0”, it is considered as a PHA (Potentially Harmful Application) and may render the device into a state that is considered as a violation of the Android CDD section 9.7 [C-1-2] and [C-1-3]  requirement(s).
