What’s “Q” in Android Security
summary
Project Mainline and Q accelerate updates and tighten platform surfaces and the concrete changes matter: background location tri-state permission plus a mandatory reminder and revocation path, scoped storage requiring MediaStore or SAF for other apps’ files and a new foreground-service-type manifest, restricted device identifiers and clipboard access, stricter non‑SDK API enforcement, TLS 1.3 by default, an embedded-dex option for integrity, and the new Google-provided encryption SDKs AndroidX Security (EncryptedFile/EncryptedSharedPreferences) and Adiantum.
