#GooglePlayServices #Flags

As mentioned on the Google Play System Update page (updated on 31st Jan), with Google Play Services version v24.04 -

[Phone] With this new feature, you can now use your Android QR code scanner to scan eSIM barcodes.

This will save you a few seconds in the esim setup process. You will be quickly able to scan the esim QR from the QR scanner tile on compatible devices and let you jump directly to the esim setup process. I can't test it as I don't have the required hardware/software support for esim.

The mentioned version has not been rolled out yet, but Google was kind enough to add the flag for Play Service beta 24.03.15. So if you are rooted, you can use the following flag in the com.google.android.gms.vision package.

Google Play Service is bringing a new Auto Lock feature

This is an addition in the latest beta version of Play Services and there is not much information about it because it's still WIP. The setting will be available inside"Privacy and Security". It says auto lock can "Automatically lock your device".

I will post an update if I find anything more about it.

Google has started working on the aliro standard

The latest beta version of Google Play Service added a service named com.google.android.gms.aliro.service.AliroNfcApduService . It's currently disabled and it's just starting of the work on this standard. Just like Matter protocol, aliro will also be a part of Google Play Services.

What's aliro?
Apple, Google, and Samsung have teamed up with lock makers and chip makers, including Allegion (Schlage), Assa Abloy (Yale), Qualcomm, and NXP, to build an open standard for smart locks and digital keys, using devices like your smartphone or smartwatch. Launching Thursday, the effort is called Aliro, and if you’ve ever enjoyed using Apple’s Home Key technology on your watch or phone to unlock your door, you’ll be excited about this new standard.

Password Manager will allow you to import CSV password files

Currently you can export all your passwords as a CSV file, but to import it, you need to use the web version of password manager. That can change in future as the password manager in the Google Play Services will allow you to import CSV files by picking it from phone storage. The process is simple as you can see in the screenshot but it doesn't show what's being imported, and seems like it can detect duplicates and only imports the original ones.
