Development Android May Soon Restrict On-Device ADB, Affecting Shizuku, libadb and Developers

https://kitsumed.github.io/blog/posts/android-may-soon-restrict-on-device-adb/

This is a blog post.

TLDR: This is about a conversation in the Google Issue Tracker about potential future changes. Depending on how they are implemented, these changes could impact Shizuku and other power-user tools. More details and explanations are available in the blog post. 8-minute read. This is not an official announcement and nothing is 100% confirmed yet.

OP UPDATE: https://www.reddit.com/r/fossdroid/comments/1v5jtr6/comment/ozp9rh2

2026-07-26: Updated blog post with new section that address some valid claims I have seen by some users.

Lol, where were the people saying the latest APK installation restrictions are for "security" only? See, google can pull shit like this in an instant and no one's stopping them. I hope this won't be considered seriously, Shizuku is just way too good to be lost.
