Android 14 Changelog
Android 14, the latest version of Android's custom user interface, brings many new features and improvements over its predecessor. Some of its main features are as follows,
- Updates and additions to Foreground Services: It's more complicated than necessary to perform some background work, such as downloading large files when WiFi is available. We're creating a standard path for this work to simplify your app development and potentially improve the user experience. We're also being more opinionated about how foreground services should be used, reserving them for only the highest priority user-facing tasks so that Android can improve resource consumption and battery life.
- Optimized broadcasts: We’ve made several optimizations to the internal broadcast system to improve battery life and responsiveness. While most optimizations are internal to Android and should not impact your apps, we have adjusted how apps receive context-registered broadcasts once the app goes into a cached state. Broadcasts to context-registered receivers may be queued and only delivered to the app once it comes out of the cached state. Furthermore, some repeating context-registered broadcasts,
- Exact alarms: The invocation of exact alarms can significantly affect the device's resources, such as battery life. So in Android 14, newly installed apps targeting Android 13+ (SDK 33+) Apps can direct users to the settings page via an intent to toggle this permission, but we encourage you to evaluate your use cases and choose more flexibly scheduled alternatives when possible.
- Customization: We're continuing to ensure that Android users can tune their experience around their individual needs, including enhanced accessibility and internationalization features.
- Privacy and Security
- Safer implicit intents
- Safer dynamic code loading
- Block installation of apps
- Dynamic code loading (DCL): introduces outlets for malware and exploits, since dynamically downloaded executables can be unexpectedly manipulated, causing code injection. Apps targeting Android 14 require dynamically loaded files to be marked as read-only.
- Credential Manager and Passkeys support: We recently announced the alpha release of Credential Manager, a new Jetpack API that allows you to simplify your users' authentication journey while increasing security with passkeys' support. Passkeys are a significantly safer replacement for passwords and other perishable authentication factors and more convenient for users (they require just a biometric swipe to securely sign in on any device). Read more here.
- App compatibility: We’re working to make updates faster and smoother with each platform release by prioritizing app compatibility. In Android 14 we’ve made most app-facing changes opt-in to give you more time to make any necessary app changes, and we’ve updated our tools and processes to help you get ready sooner.
