Hi, started to run my tests

[AndroidDeveloperLB]

Currently it seems to run fine, no?

[SarotecK]

ys its still working. No need to investigate yet.

@SarotecK Maybe check when Android 14 is final.
For now, seems working.
I wonder though if it's safe to publish apps that use this library on the Play Store. Do you know, perhaps?

[SarotecK]

Well, beside of the reasons google mentions: https://developer.android.com/guide/app-compatibility/restrictions-non-sdk-interfaces

• Depends on the API you are using. Some internal API might be updated more frequently compared to others. You could check the how often the corresponding API function was changed in the last years.
• Allways check the developer content policy (https://play.google.com/about/developer-content-policy/)

I did a quick search and didn't find anything in google play content policy telling that hidden api access is a violation. However, this might be still no evidence.

https://support.google.com/googleplay/android-developer/search?q=hidden+API&count=16

Also you could try to change your use-cases to a behaviour that doesn't require hidden API access. Sometimes a particular feature might not be worth the risk.

I see. Wonder if there are some apps on the Play Store that uses this or another.

Hey @SarotecK

When targeting AndroidSDK 34 I'm getting SecurityException when RestrictionBypass calls getDeclaredMethod for setHiddenApiExemptions. With AndroidSDK 33 it is still working. Is it a fixable issue?
