Introducing Play Integrity API developer preview

on YouTube ↗07m

" summary

Google launches the Play Integrity API as a single, server-to-server attestation that replaces SafetyNet and Play licensing, returning a small encrypted verdict that answers three integrity checks: genuine game binary, genuine Play user account, genuine Android device. The API is configurable from Play Console, keeps latency almost instantaneous, and ships with migration guidance plus an early access program. Intended as one component of anti‑abuse systems, it lets backends increase friction or reduce functionality for risky traffic rather than outright blocking.
