GRAPHENEOS TO ENABLE MEMORY TAGGING BY DEFAULT ON SUPPORTED DEVICES (8th Gen)
Our upcoming release has hardware memory tagging enabled unconditionally on devices supporting it to replace the opt-in we added in security settings. This will likely be released at the end of the day tomorrow.
Our approach enables memory tagging for nearly all of the base OS, user installed apps opting into memory tagging support and user installed apps not bundling any native libraries. For other user installed apps, we'll be adding a per-app memory tagging toggle in a future release.
In the near future, we plan to ship support for a per-app toggle for memory tagging, a per-app toggle for ptrace replacing the global one, duress PIN/password and a toggle for enabling Android Auto by granting a list of special privileges which can be reduced via shims over time.
We're also working on various other small features and initial work on some longer term projects including App Communication Scopes. In order to work on more at the same time, we need more developers, and we're currently moving forward with hiring additional full time developers.
