The SDK Runtime is a dedicated runtime environment introduced in Android 14 to enable third-party advertising SDKs to run isolated from the app. This approach provides safeguards and protections around user data collections and sharing:
A separate, modified execution environment initiated by the app.
Every app can start its own SDK Runtime instance.
Well-defined permissions and data access rights for SDKs
SDK Runtime benefits SDK developers by offering:
Isolation from the app's code and process, making the SDK inaccessible for them
Protection against SDKs covertly accessing each other's code or resources
Mechanisms that prevent third-parties from manipulating the UI or interfering with UI state reporting
Guide overview
This is a developer's guide for building a SDK Runtime compatible runtime-enabled (RE) SDK alongside your existing (non runtime-enabled) SDK.
