Announcing our Safety and Security Spotlight Week!
This week, we’re launching our first-ever Spotlight Week dedicated to Android Safety and Security. To kick things off, we’re excited to announce the launch of early access for the new Android developer verification experience. The first few invites are rolling out soon and you can still sign up today. This program is a foundational step in our commitment to elevate Android security and make the ecosystem safer for everyone.
The Safety and Security Spotlight Week will provide resources—blog posts, videos, and more—all designed to help you build more secure apps and prepare for upcoming changes.
Here’s what’s coming:
Android developer verification (Tuesday, November 11th): We’re kicking off the week with a deep dive into the new Android developer verification requirements. We’ll explain what they are, how to get ready, and a preview of the new Android Developer Console.
Play Integrity API – stronger threat detection, simpler integration (Wednesday, November 12th): Learn how to better protect your apps and games from abuse and attack with the Play Integrity API. We’ll cover use cases and recommended practices, and introduce the new in-app remediation prompts that help users resolve integrity issues and API error codes automatically.
Accessibility APIs (Thursday, November 13th): We’ll cover how adding just one line to your code with the isAccessibilityDataSentitive flag, can protect your user’s sensitive information and prevent abuse of the Android accessibility APIs.
Cyber Security Awareness with Advanced Protection Mode (Thursday, November 13th): Advanced Protection offers greater security functionality for Android’s most sensitive users by allowing them to make changes to device protection settings across Android through one simple toggle.
That’s a look at what we’ll be covering during our Safety and Security Spotlight Week. Be sure to check back here throughout the week, as we’ll be updating this post with all the latest links. Follow the Android Developers channels on X and LinkedIn to get the latest updates as they happen.
