User Initiated Data Transfer Jobs
Google introduced a new api UIDT in Android 14 as an alternative to Work Manager and Foreground Services.
A deep dive session into how your apps can run longer-duration, user-initiated transferring of data, such as downloading a file from a remote server using UIDT. With increasing restrictions on running Foreground Services it is very important to migrate your app's critical use cases to alternate API's. Android 14 applies strict rules on when you can run a Foreground Service & Android 15 is bringing 6 hours timeout to Foreground Services.
Will share how specific use cases migrated to UIDT can lead to improved app performance.
