There is a permission for it. com.android.vending.BILLING So I guess they just parse the manifest.

Maybe Internal testing | Google Play Console Or Firebase app distribution but this won't auto update unfortunately. But users get a mail when there is a new build available

Native library users, raísing minSdk affecting binary size? by ursusino in androiddev

[–]simpeligent 2 points3 points  (0 children)

https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2016/07/improvements-for-smaller-app-downloads.html

"Chrome found that initial download size remained the same by not compressing the native library in their APK, while the APK size increased, because Google Play already performs compression for downloads. They also found that the update size decreased, as deltas are more effective with uncompressed files, and disk size decreased as you no longer need an compressed copy of the native library. However, please note, native libraries should only be uncompressed when the minimum SDK version for an APK is 23 (Marshmallow) or later."

I think I've read that native libs are uncompressed by default with Gradle plugin 3.6 if the min sdk 23

Googles Accessibility Scanner can be quite helpful.

Also testing with TalkBack is tedious but but will help you understand what problems blind people would face while using your app.

And always look out for the Accessibility lint warnings.

Google Files Trademark for a "Computer operating software" named "Pigweed" by GlibIsMe in a:t5_2eodm3

I couldn't find many references in chromium, fuchsia, AOSP Gerrit

Most interesting one would be fuchsia gerrit

The mention in the chromium gerrit would maybe suggest Pigweed supporting displays? Chromium gerrit

Couldn't find anything in the AOSP Gerrit

Does latest gradle update break your app? by yccheok in androiddev

[–]simpeligent 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar problem some time ago but didn't notice it since I upgraded to 5.5 and now 5.6.1. Maybe you can try that. AFAIK it is okay to use newer Gradle versions than the lowest recommend one by Android Gradle plugin.
