Data access auditing

To provide more transparency into how your app and its dependencies access
private data from users, Android 11 introduces data access
auditing. By having insights from this
process, you can better identify potentially unexpected data access.
Your app can register an instance of
AppOpsManager.OnOpNotedCallback, which can perform
actions each time one of the following events occurs:
- Your app's code accesses private data. To help you determine which logical
part of your app invoked the event, you can audit data access by attribution
tag.
- Code in a dependent library or SDK accesses private data.
