Can they? When one Googler commented:
> If Xiaomi needs this, I think it should be done in the device-specific sepolicies.
Another responded that:
> Xiaomi cannot remove policy in device specific policy.
- josephcsible 4y agoThat means they wouldn't be able to use this exact method to block APK extraction. I'm worried they'll find another, though, so I want the CDD to be updated to say APK extraction must be allowed. (I suppose I could have worded my original comment better.)
- TheDong 4y agoXiaomi still can, just not with that mechanism (device-specific policies). I'm pretty sure they already ship a customized android distribution, so they could apply this exact patch, the one they proposed upstream, to their fork of android. I give it quite good odds they already have applied such a patch.
