System Hardening in Android 11
In addition on Android 11 API<p>* apps can't simply access the "external" storage (enforces scoped storage)<p>* apps can'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't run on unlocked devices anymore. I've always trusted CyanogenMod/LineageOS more then than a device manufacturer, but after >10 years of using Android I think it's finally time for me to switch to an iPhone.<p>[1] <a href="https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/safetynet-api-clients/lpDXBNeV7Fg" rel="nofollow">https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/safetynet-api-client...</a>
