◆ Detailed permissions for media file access
Previously, if your app wanted to access media files on your phone, you had to grant permissions on all media files. With Android 13, new permissions now require access to certain types of files in shared storage, such as 'for images and photos,' 'for video,' and 'for audio files.'

The digital signature 'Keystore' embedded in the app to prove the developer of the app and the 'KeyMint' that generates and certifies the certificate key now provide more detailed and accurate error indicators.
◆ Predictive audio routing
The Audio Manager allows media apps to identify how audio is routed and get a list of devices that can be used to play the specified audio. Other APIs that are useful for playing audio will be added, and it will determine the best one for the audio track.

It is possible to delete unnecessary parts of, correct typographical parts and save.
