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

En Android 14, el sistema puede Coloca transmisiones registradas en el contexto en una fila mientras la app está en el estado almacenado en caché. Este comportamiento es similar al de la fila que presentó Android 12 (nivel de API 31) para las transacciones de Binder asíncronas. Las transmisiones declaradas en el manifiesto no están en fila, y las apps se quitan del estado almacenado en caché para la entrega de transmisiones.

Cuando la app sale del estado almacenado en caché, por ejemplo, regresa al primer plano, el sistema entrega cualquier transmisión en fila. Se pueden combinar varias instancias de ciertas transmisiones en una sola. Según otros factores, como el sistema de la aplicación, es posible que se quiten las apps del estado almacenado en caché y que se haya de transmisión.

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 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 bucket de App Standby 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 limitado a 64 KB

En Android 14 (nivel de API 34) y versiones posteriores, la plataforma reduce la memoria máxima que se puede bloquear con mlock() a 64 KB por proceso. En las versiones anteriores, el límite era de 64 MB por proceso. Esta restricción promueve una mejor administración de la memoria en las apps y el sistema. Para brindar mayor coherencia entre los dispositivos, Android 14 agrega una nueva prueba de CTS para el nuevo límite de mlock() en los dispositivos compatibles.

El sistema aplica el uso de recursos de apps almacenados en caché

By design, an app's process is in a cached state when it's moved to the background and no other app process components are running. Such an app process is subject to being killed due to system memory pressure. Any work that Activity instances perform after the onStop() method has been called and returned, while in this state, is unreliable and strongly discouraged.

Android 14 introduces consistency and enforcement to this design. Shortly after an app process enters a cached state, background work is disallowed, until a process component re-enters an active state of the lifecycle.

Apps that use typical framework-supported lifecycle APIs – such as services, JobScheduler, and Jetpack WorkManager – shouldn't be impacted by these changes.

Experiencia del usuario

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

If your app shows non-dismissable foreground notifications to users, Android 14 has changed the behavior to allow users to dismiss such notifications.

This change applies to apps that prevent users from dismissing foreground notifications by setting Notification.FLAG_ONGOING_EVENT through Notification.Builder#setOngoing(true) or NotificationCompat.Builder#setOngoing(true). The behavior of FLAG_ONGOING_EVENT has changed to make such notifications actually dismissable by the user.

These kinds of notifications are still non-dismissable in the following conditions:

  • When the phone is locked
  • If the user selects a Clear all notification action (which helps with accidental dismissals)

Also, this new behavior doesn't apply to notifications in the following use cases:

  • CallStyle notifications
  • Device policy controller (DPC) and supporting packages for enterprise
  • Media notifications
  • The default Search Selector package

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

La tienda de contenido multimedia admite consultas para la columna OWNER_PACKAGE_NAME, que indica la app que almacenó un archivo multimedia en particular. A partir de Android 14, este valor se oculta, a menos que se cumpla mínimo una de las siguientes condiciones:

  • La app que almacenó el archivo multimedia tiene un nombre de paquete que siempre está visible para otras apps.
  • La app que consulta la tienda de contenido multimedia solicita el permiso QUERY_ALL_PACKAGES.
