Will Google's new security measures affect Media Monkey Pro?

[Blorkersson]

I've read recently that Google are going to remove apps from both the Play store and devices, based on whether Google think they have a purpose they understand. For example, if Google think the app is not doing anything except residing on my phone, they will remove it.

How will this affect the Media Monkey Pro app, which is currently in deep sleep on my phone and is only used (as far as I'm aware) to unlock the MMA paid features upgrade?

My concern is brought about because of recent Google changes (with more to come): I already have one app on my phone that no longer works (it previously allowed Wi-Fi transfer of files from a memory key to the phone) and another app which has issues because of the way the app accesses the data file it uses.

A further question related to this: will Google's new policy prevent MMA from accessing music files on the additional SD card installed on my phone?

My phone is a Samsung Galaxy A55 5G, running Android 14.

Thank you in advance.

Dear Developers - do you have any information on this?

Hi,
I am running Android 14 July 1 Patch and had no issues with MMA or MMA Pro.

This should not influence MMA PRO as it is very clear what it does and that MMA also needs to be installed.

Hhmm.

Thank you for your reply Peke. I hope you're right.

Clear to you and all at Media Monkey, but is it clear to Google?

I'll be one of the first to let you know if it goes wrong.

Hi,

Clear to you and all at Media Monkey, but is it clear to Google?

We will see new build compliant with Android 14 requirements is on Google check and available for some MMA beta testers.

I'll be one of the first to let you know if it goes wrong.

May I hold you that? As that would be more than welcome.

May I hold you that?

I'll do my very best. After all, it's in my interests that MMA keeps working.

Hi,
I am glad to hear that.

Meantime Happy Monkeying!
