AndroidX

Google has launched AndroidX Security State libraries, enabling applications to verify security patch status at a granular level for individual components. This allows developers to conduct precise security verifications tailored to their applications' needs. The libraries categorize security patch levels into Device SPL, Published SPL, and Available SPL, providing enhanced visibility into device security. Functions such as queryAllAvailableUpdates() and areCvesPatched() help identify pending updates and check CVE status. The Security State Provider library standardizes communication for update notifications among OEMs.
