Virtual Machine as a core Android Primitive
Summary: The Android Virtualization Framework (AVF) will be available on select Android 14 devices, expanding virtualization support on the platform. AVF enables developers to choose the level of isolation for virtual machines, providing one-way or two-way isolation. Benefits of AVF include isolation, portability, performance, and extensibility. Isolated virtual machines can be used for biometrics and DRM, among other use cases. Android 14 introduces new toolkits and improvements to the AVF, making it more accessible for developers of privileged applications and platform developers.
