Recently, many Android users got surprised when they found that the installation of the latest version of Netflix being denied on Android smartphones with root access. As it clearly hints that soon Google might stop you from downloading apps from Play Store.
It was with surprise that many saw the installation of the latest version of Netflix being denied on Android smartphones with root access. The company revealed that it was using Widevine, which blocks the installation of apps on devices that do not comply with security rules.
It was thought that it would be something unique from Netflix, but it is now known that this is a new option that is available to all who have applications published in the Google Play Store.
The behavior of the Netflix app started out strange. All devices that had root applied simply could not find the app for installation in the Play Store, something that confused many users.
The truth is that this new feature is now an option that all programmers can use when submitting their applications in the Play Store. They can limit their access only to devices that comply with security rules, with the presence of root mechanisms one of which is verified.
Incorporated into SafetyNet, one of the new features introduced in this year’s I/O, this equipment filtering ensures that only tailored devices can install the app. Security issues are one of the filters that programmers can use to block devices.
In addition to the root issue, there is still the problem of users using third-party ROMs, which also do not comply with Android’s security rules.
One of the issues raised with the arrival of SafetyNet, and which had already arisen with the case of Netflix, is until it can go to Google starting to control root users and start to bar them from accessing features other than the apps and From the Play Store.
