Android app developers are having a fit now. Google has finally put their foot down and are requiring the reason for links to other apps. The apps that Google is trying to protect are the accessibility apps. This means that some developers are using the accessibility apps for things that may not require these apps. While the link between the two apps may provide the user with benefits, hackers are starting to use this link to infect people with malware. So Google is now giving app developers 30 days to prove that the accessibility code is helping disabled users or remove the code. If the developers do not comply with this requirement, Google will remove the app from the store completely. This is a concern for developers who have created apps that use these features for a legitimate purpose but not for disabled users. Check it out:
