Cambios de comportamiento: todas las apps

La plataforma de Android 14 incluye cambios de comportamiento que podrían afectar a tu app. Los siguientes cambios se aplican a todas las apps cuando se ejecutan en Android 14, independientemente de targetSdkVersion. Debes probar tu app y, luego, modificarla según corresponda para admitir estos cambios.

Asegúrate también de consultar la lista de cambios de comportamiento que solo afectan a las apps orientadas a Android 14.

Funcionalidad principal

El permiso para programar alarmas exactas se rechaza de forma predeterminada

Exact alarms are meant for user-intentioned notifications, or for actions that need to happen at a precise time. Starting in Android 14, the SCHEDULE_EXACT_ALARM permission is no longer being pre-granted to most newly installed apps targeting Android 13 and higher—the permission is denied by default.

Las transmisiones registradas en el contexto se ponen en cola mientras las apps se almacenan en caché

On Android 14, the system can place context-registered broadcasts in a queue while the app is in the cached state. This is similar to the queuing behavior that Android 12 (API level 31) introduced for async binder transactions. Manifest-declared broadcasts aren't queued, and apps are removed from the cached state for broadcast delivery.

When the app leaves the cached state, such as returning to the foreground, the system delivers any queued broadcasts. Multiple instances of certain broadcasts might be merged into one broadcast. Depending on other factors, such as system health, apps might be removed from the cached state, and any previously queued broadcasts are delivered.

Las apps solo pueden finalizar sus propios procesos en segundo plano

Starting in Android 14, when your app calls killBackgroundProcesses(), the API can kill only the background processes of your own app.

If you pass in the package name of another app, this method has no effect on that app's background processes, and the following message appears in Logcat:

Invalid packageName: com.example.anotherapp

Your app shouldn't use the killBackgroundProcesses() API or otherwise attempt to influence the process lifecycle of other apps, even on older OS versions. Android is designed to keep cached apps in the background and kill them automatically when the system needs memory. If your app kills other apps unnecessarily, it can reduce system performance and increase battery consumption by requiring full restarts of those apps later, which takes significantly more resources than resuming an existing cached app.

La MTU se establece en 517 para el primer cliente de GATT que solicita una MTU.

Starting from Android 14, the Android Bluetooth stack more strictly adheres to Version 5.2 of the Bluetooth Core Specification and requests the BLE ATT MTU to 517 bytes when the first GATT client requests an MTU using the BluetoothGatt#requestMtu(int) API, and disregards all subsequent MTU requests on that ACL connection.

To address this change and make your app more robust, consider the following options:

  • Your peripheral device should respond to the Android device's MTU request with a reasonable value that can be accommodated by the peripheral. The final negotiated value will be a minimum of the Android requested value and the remote provided value (for example, min(517, remoteMtu))
    • Implementing this fix could require a firmware update for peripheral
  • Alternatively, limit your GATT characteristic writes based on the minimum between the known supported value of your peripheral and the received MTU change
    • A reminder that you should reduce 5 bytes from the supported size for the headers
    • For example: arrayMaxLength = min(SUPPORTED_MTU, GATT_MAX_ATTR_LEN(517)) - 5

Nuevo motivo por el que una app puede colocarse en el intervalo en espera restringido

Android 14 introduces a new reason an app can be placed into the restricted standby bucket. The app's jobs trigger ANR errors multiple times due to onStartJob, onStopJob, or onBind method timeouts. (See JobScheduler reinforces callback and network behavior for changes to onStartJob and onStopJob.)

To track whether or not the app has entered the restricted standby bucket, we recommend logging with the API UsageStatsManager.getAppStandbyBucket() on job execution or UsageStatsManager.queryEventsForSelf() on app startup.

mlock se limita a 64 KB

In Android 14 (API level 34) and higher, the platform reduces the maximum memory that can be locked using mlock() to 64 KB per process. In previous versions, the limit was 64 MB per process. This restriction promotes better memory management across apps and the system. To provide more consistency across devices, Android 14 adds a new CTS test for the new mlock() limit on compatible devices.

El sistema aplica de manera forzosa el uso de recursos de la app almacenada en caché

De forma predeterminada, el proceso de una app se encuentra en estado almacenado caché cuando pasa a segundo plano, y no se ejecutan otros componentes del proceso. Este proceso de app está sujeto a la finalización por la presión de la memoria del sistema. Cualquier tarea que realicen las instancias Activity después de que se haya llamado y mostrado el método onStop(), mientras esté en este estado, no es confiable ni se recomienda.

Android 14 introduce coherencia y aplicación forzosa a este diseño. Poco después de que un proceso de la app entra en un estado almacenado en caché, no se permite la tarea en segundo plano hasta que un componente del proceso vuelva a entrar en estado activo del ciclo de vida.

Las apps que usan APIs típicas de ciclo de vida compatibles con el framework (como servicios, JobScheduler y WorkManager de Jetpack) no deberían verse afectados por estos cambios.

Experiencia del usuario

Cambios en la experiencia de los usuarios con notificaciones que no se pueden descartar

Si tu app les muestra a los usuarios notificaciones que no se pueden descartar en primer plano, Android 14 cambió el comportamiento para permitir que los usuarios puedan hacerlo.

Este cambio se aplica a las apps que evitan que los usuarios descarten las notificaciones en primer plano estableciendo Notification.FLAG_ONGOING_EVENT mediante Notification.Builder#setOngoing(true) o NotificationCompat.Builder#setOngoing(true). Se modificó el comportamiento de FLAG_ONGOING_EVENT para que el usuario pueda descartar realmente estas notificaciones.

Estos tipos de notificaciones aún no se pueden descartar en las siguientes situaciones:

  • Si el teléfono está bloqueado.
  • Si el usuario selecciona una acción de notificación Borrar todo (lo que ayuda cuando se descartan por accidente).

Además, este nuevo comportamiento no se aplica a las notificaciones en los siguientes casos de uso:

  • CallStyle notificaciones
  • Controlador de políticas del dispositivo (DPC) y paquetes de asistencia para empresas
  • Notificaciones multimedia
  • El paquete del selector de búsqueda predeterminado

La información de seguridad de los datos es más visible

To enhance user privacy, Android 14 increases the number of places where the system shows the information you have declared in the Play Console form. Currently, users can view this information in the Data safety section on your app's listing in Google Play.

We encourage you to review your app's location data sharing policies and take a moment to make any applicable updates to your app's Google Play Data safety section.

Learn more in the guide about how data safety information is more visible on Android 14.

Accesibilidad

Escalamiento de fuente no lineal al 200%

Starting in Android 14, the system supports font scaling up to 200%, providing low-vision users with additional accessibility options that align with Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).

If you already use scaled pixels (sp) units to define text sizing, then this change probably won't have a high impact on your app. However, you should perform UI testing with the maximum font size enabled (200%) to ensure that your app can accommodate larger font sizes without impacting usability.

Seguridad

Nivel mínimo de API objetivo instalable

Starting with Android 14, apps with a targetSdkVersion lower than 23 can't be installed. Requiring apps to meet these minimum target API level requirements improves security and privacy for users.

Malware often targets older API levels in order to bypass security and privacy protections that have been introduced in newer Android versions. For example, some malware apps use a targetSdkVersion of 22 to avoid being subjected to the runtime permission model introduced in 2015 by Android 6.0 Marshmallow (API level 23). This Android 14 change makes it harder for malware to avoid security and privacy improvements. Attempting to install an app targeting a lower API level will result in an installation failure, with the following message appearing in Logcat:

INSTALL_FAILED_DEPRECATED_SDK_VERSION: App package must target at least SDK version 23, but found 7

On devices upgrading to Android 14, any apps with a targetSdkVersion lower than 23 will remain installed.

If you need to test an app targeting an older API level, use the following ADB command:

adb install --bypass-low-target-sdk-block FILENAME.apk

Los nombres de los paquetes de los propietarios del contenido multimedia podrían estar ocultos

The media store supports queries for the OWNER_PACKAGE_NAME column, which indicates the app that stored a particular media file. Starting in Android 14, this value is redacted unless at least one of the following conditions is true:

  • The app that stored the media file has a package name that is always visible to other apps.
  • The app that queries the media store requests the QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES permission.
