The 4 Important Due Dates for Android Development in 2022
Get them ready before the due date, to avoid blocking development
From year to year, Google continues to introduce new requirements for Android App Developments. There are due dates we need to get on. Else there might be consequences e.g. cannot upload to the PlayStore, cannot get on to the latest library.
From my tracking, this year (2022), I found 4 due dates that we need to take note of. Please let me know if there are others that I missed.
1. Advertising ID Permission
The advertising ID is a unique, user-resettable ID for advertising, provided by Google Play services. Due to the stricter privacy rules enforced globally, Google now will no longer track the ID if the user opts out of personalization using advertising ID in Android Settings.
From the development standpoint, if we do extract the advertising ID, we’ll need to add the additional permission below
<uses-permission android:name="com.google.android.gms.permission.AD_ID"/>This will be enforced beginning April 1, 2022
