Your app must comply with our Permissions policy and the Prominent Disclosure requirements of our User Data policy.Īction required: If you aren't already doing so, you must explain to users how your app is using the '_ACCESSIBILITY_SERVICE' to help users with disabilities use Android devices and apps. We're contacting you because your app, BatterySaver System Shortcut, with package name is requesting the '_ACCESSIBILITY_SERVICE.' Apps requesting accessibility services should only be used to help users with disabilities use Android devices and apps. The developer of BatterSaver received the following email: Google has contacted developers regarding the official policy on the usage of this tool, and it's likely due to the previously mentioned security risks.
A few applications that currently rely on the Accessibility Services API are Network Monitor, LastPass, Universal Copy, Clipboard Actions, Cerberus, Tasker, and Greenify.Īlthough Accessibility Services can enhance the overall functionality of applications, they also can pose a security concern because once granted the proper permissions, the API could be used to read data from other apps. The official purpose of this API is to allow developers to create apps for users with disabilities, but it is often utilized in other capacities like filling in text fields and overlaying content. The Android OS has permitted applications to modify the behavior of other apps using Accessibility Services for a number of years now.
