API 23 changes potentially unimplemented
pbanwait opened this issue · comments
From a quick check on @M66B's XPrivacy repo, it seems that there were no API changes implemented from 22 to 23.
Android M was first unveiled on May 28, 2015 with official release on October 5, 2015. Additionally, the API Diff Spec is dated October 14, 2015. The commits on the official XPrivacy repo's source folder do not show any diffs/commits relevant to API changes for Marshmallow. The latest commits address changes for Lollipop only.
Edit: An example of an API 23 class without XPrivacy coverage is NetworkStatsManager. This class provides access to network usage and history. I cannot find any references in official XPrivacy relating to that class and its methods. I will explore more when possible. Note, that a similar class, UsageStatsManager, in that package android.app.usage, is covered by XPrivacy via an XHook subclass named XUsageStatsManager.
To save you effort: Lollipop was indeed the last version XPrivacy was really updated for.
Hello pbanwait,
it would be great if you could support us collecting the necessary information for an update of xprivacy.
I have already started reading the documentation. There are two wiki-pages about the Android-API and the Google APIs for Android where I collect the results.
The changes adding API's to Android are checked completely, the next step for me would be to read the Google API. The last big thing would be to check the API 27 completely to cover all the changes from 22 to 27.
Best regards
