Android 17 blocks Non-Accessibility Apps from Accessibility API to prevent Malware Abuse.
Google is testing a new security feature as part of Android Advanced Protection Mode [AAPM] that prevents certain kinds of apps from using the accessibility services API. The change, incorporated in Android 17 Beta 2, was first reported by Android Authority.
👾AAPM was introduced by Google in Android 16, released last year. When enabled, it causes the device to enter a heightened security state to guard against sophisticated attacks. The opt-in feature prioritizes security at the cost of diminished functionality and usability so as to minimize the attack surface.👾
⁉️Some of the core configurations include blocking app installation from unknown sources, restricting USB data signaling, and mandating Google Play Protect scanning.⁉️
