Testing the App’s Response to OS-Level Security Changes

Mobile operating systems frequently update their security models and permissions. This test involves applying a major Android security update and then verifying that MetaMask continues to function correctly, particularly features that rely on sensitive permissions like biometric authentication, camera access for QR scanning, and network connectivity. The app should either automatically adapt to new security requirements or provide clear guidance to the user about any necessary permission updates. This compatibility with evolving platform security is crucial for maintaining both functionality and the highest security standards. The development team closely monitors OS updates to ensure continued compatibility, as noted in release notes available at metamask. The test is successful if all security-dependent features work correctly after the OS update.
