Google Releases AndroidX Libraries for Granular Android Patch Checks
Google has shipped stable versions of AndroidX Security State 1.1.0 and Security State Provider 1.0.0. The libraries let apps and admins inspect patch status by component — core Android, Google Play modular updates and the Linux kernel — instead of relying on a single Security Patch Level date.
- Three indicators tracked: DSPL, PSPL and ASPL
- Apps can query specific CVE status via the OSV database
- Android 17 will add Supplemental Patches XML for backported fixes
- Effectiveness depends on OEM adoption of the provider system
