New features & improvements

• Android security updates for October 2024 (see Android Security Bulletin - October 2024 for more information).

• The Android WebView has been updated to 129.0.6668.81.

Known issues

• Since version 1.23.0, the Anbox WebRTC Data Proxy service starts on demand rather than at container startup. However, its startup time may take longer than expected, which can negatively impact the out-of-band data exchange between the WebRTC server and client. This issue can be worked around by applying the following tweak in a pre-start hook.

  #!/bin/sh -ex
  if  [ "$CONTAINER_TYPE" = "regular" ]; then
    exit 0
  fi
  
  DROP_IN_DIR=/etc/systemd/system/anbox-webrtc-data-proxy.service.d/
  sudo mkdir -p "${DROP_IN_DIR}"
  sudo tee "${DROP_IN_DIR}/override.conf" > /dev/null <<EOF
  [Install]
  WantedBy=multi-user.target
  EOF
  
  sudo systemctl daemon-reload
  sudo systemctl enable anbox-webrtc-data-proxy
