System Hardening in Android 11
In addition on Android 11 API<p>* apps can&#x27;t simply access the &quot;external&quot; storage (enforces scoped storage)<p>* apps can&#x27;t get a list of all installed apps (package visibility, they can specify app names and intent signatures in the Manifest they want to query)<p>These are welcome changes in my view, but unfortunately they also seem intend to fix SafetyNet and require hardware attestation that the bootloader is not unlocked [1]. When this is enforced for all devices some apps, like the eBay app, won&#x27;t run on unlocked devices anymore. I&#x27;ve always trusted CyanogenMod&#x2F;LineageOS more then than a device manufacturer, but after &gt;10 years of using Android I think it&#x27;s finally time for me to switch to an iPhone.<p>[1] <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;groups.google.com&#x2F;forum&#x2F;#!topic&#x2F;safetynet-api-clients&#x2F;lpDXBNeV7Fg" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;groups.google.com&#x2F;forum&#x2F;#!topic&#x2F;safetynet-api-client...</a>
