#Android 13 #privacy will be going one step further than Android 12 with an SDK Runtime, which will control data access rights to third-party SDKs. Android Ad publishers should note FLEDGE for Android. https://t.co/AXixsMEVp8
More and more ad vendors are using Universal IDs to replace the Ad ID. These IDs might be an email address or phone number. These IDs are rising in prominence and are beginning to be considered a necessity. We all know why too. #android#GooglePlay
Want to review your #android app first party code? We leave it up to publishers and developers to check their first party code. You know your code best. #googleplaystore compliance is coming...
#mhealth mobile apps (specifically the activity tracking segment) = collecting user, network and device data = fusing this data to create challenges and badge rewards and targeted advertising = gamification. Note, there is no such thing as an anonymous user. #android#ios
@dystopian_rick@madebygoogle Here in the UK and our Pixel 6 after the December update has little or no signal in an area where the signal is very good. Our Pixel 3XL has no signal issues, so it's specific to the Pixel 6.

Google's I/O 2021 announcement last week with regards the soon to launch #Google Play SDK Console, has us very excited. More to follow. https://t.co/uTat5j0Kap #Android12
As a mobile game publisher, wouldn’t it be useful to quickly understand what data you and your partners are not collecting but should be as well as what data you didn’t know was being collected and why? #mobilegamedev#mobilegames#mobilegamedevelopment#android#iosgames
Are you publishing mobile games in China? You can now use ASAnalyzer to quickly check China-specific SDKs for what data is collected and why. We know checking the documentation and code is time consuming. Let ASAnalyzer do this for you. #mobilegaming#mobilegames
#Apple are using the same URL to SDK identification we use in our #iOS agent as part of their whole "what SDKs are in this app" thing. They would have seen the baseline back in 2019 when we engaged their Arcade team #privacy
