Google has just announced Android 13 Developer Preview 2! Here's what they mentioned in their blog post 👇(thread)
Like I mentioned before, there's a new runtime permission for notifications. Apps targeting Android 13 will need the POST_NOTIFICATIONS permission before they can send notifications.
Speaking of permissions, apps that no longer need certain runtime permissions can self-revoke them.
Developers whose apps dynamically register broadcast receivers are encouraged to add the RECEIVER_EXPORTED or RECEIVER_NOT_EXPORTED flag when registering receivers.
Android 13 improves text wrapping for Japanese. TextViews can now wrap text by Bunsetsu (ie. phrases) rather than by character.
The update also improves how non-Latin scripts are displayed. Android 13 uses a line height that's adapted for languages like Tamil, Burmese, Telugu, and Tibetan.
Apps can use the new text conversion API to help Japanese and Chinese users find what they're looking for faster and easier. The API converts between phonetic lettering input methods such as Hiragana and Kanji.
Android 13 adds rendering support for COLRv1, as well as updating the system emoji to the format. COLRv1 is a "new and highly-compact font format that renders quickly and crisply at any size."
Android 13 adds support for Bluetooth LE Audio, as I predicted! bluetooth.com/learn-about-bl…
It also adds support for MIDI 2.0: midi.org/midi-articles/…
Keep an eye out on the @Esperdev blog for the rundown on what else is new in Android 13 Developer Preview 2! I'll be updating my deep dive article soon with the changes announced by Google as well as whatever else I find! blog.esper.io/android-13-dee…
