Apps targeting Android 17 must use the location button for one-time location requests, and using precise location requires a Play Console declaration. Broad contacts access, the Manage Contacts permission and the new Local Network permission are restricted to core functionality. Storage access now requires a declaration. Accessibility API rules and the ban on evading Play review were largely restated rather than new, and a new AppFunctions rule bars deceiving AI agents. Taken from you: Developers must file Play Console declarations to use precise location, the local network permission and all-files storage access.; Developers must ensure their AppFunctions do not deceive or manipulate AI agents, bypass security controls, or interfere with other apps.
