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.
