CHANGES IN ANDROID 14
To address this issue, Android 14 will minimize instances of background app restrictions, which will make it easier for developers to build apps that work consistently on Google, according to a post on its official developer blog. different Android devices.
We believe our expanding partnerships with hardware manufacturers and these changes will make it easier for developers to build apps that work consistently across different Android devices.
Already starting from Developer Preview 1 Android 14, released last February, has implemented new requirements to identify what types of services are in the foreground and clarify when it is reasonable to use them, and a new type of user-initiated data transfer process that simplifies the experience of managing large uploads and downloads by leveraging JobScheduler constraints (e.g. network constraints such as unlimited WiFi).
FIRST RESULTS ON ONEUI 6.0
Samsung will be the first Android device manufacturer to participate in this new initiative from Google and the first fruits should be seen as early asOneUI 6.0 interface, based on Android 14, which is expected to arrive later this year.
