Does the OS 10.3.3 update have an updated android runtime?
- ART was a crutch, to generate consumer sales. That failed, and left BlackBerry to focus on "prosumers" , hence the need for NIAP certification. Implementation of security enhancements and OS fine tuning, is all BlackBerry can justify spending labor dollars on. What reason could they give the stockholders, for updating the ART?StephanieMaks and app_Developer like this.12-03-16 06:06 PMLike 2
- It could be possible. Establish open source development group, give them the possibilities to do it, signing keys, they release the runtime update, play dumb when Google asks.
About the possible lawsuit: If launched in parallel with Google Play Services investigation done by EU European Commission - PRESS RELEASES - Press release - Antitrust: Commission sends Statement of Objections to Google on Android operating system and applications, the lawsuit could be a really interesting to watch. It could be probably won in the USA too. However, this doesn't take in the account the amount of backlash in marketing that would follow.
FTC and DOJ wanted to break Microsoft in 2001 for far less as monopoly, this is so blatant antitrust that even a 10 year old could make an argument on why it would be good to break Google in separate companies. GPS or IE6 it is still same abuse power.

- What about android apps, how do they get around that problem? It's a shame some of these keys can't be leaked. It's not like BB are going to bring out a new update anytime soon12-04-16 02:43 PMLike 0

- BlackBerry could make the runtime removable, perhaps in 10.3.4, and allow products like BlueStacks to be available on BlackBerry World. Would BlueStacks want to move beyond Windows and OS X though?12-04-16 03:04 PMLike 0

Native apps either need signing or developer mode + debug tokens.12-04-16 03:06 PMLike 0 -

Making BB10 more open in this way may generate interest in third party ART replacements. BlackBerry World could remain the source for the Android apps. Reasonable if BlackBerry wants to maintain security/(privacy) of BB10.

- They haven't so much as touched BB10 in almost two years (beyond an intern squashing a handful of bugs). This type of development is never, ever going to happen.12-04-16 04:48 PMLike 0

If APIs become free use the future could become interesting. BBRY could make BB10 more secure more private and more open than iOS and Android allowing third parties to provide developer tools through BlackBerry World. Could be an element in their strategy of advertising their new software prowess and be foundational to IoT and EoT.12-05-16 11:11 AMLike 0 -
Assuming, however, that they still need a license, with issues of Android market monopoly raised in Europe, Google may have chosen to give a company with a bad market record more relaxed terms--wouldn't want to risk the same with Samsung. BlackBerry becomes a counterpunch to the EU's accusations.
That they are allowed to sell their own compliant implementation of Android to others could confirm any of the above.12-05-16 11:28 AMLike 0 -
