It's not very clear from the article, but the proposed measures are public and the EC is running a public consultation until 13 May:
https://digital-markets-act.ec.europa.eu/dma100220-consultat...
The consultation is mostly addressed to developers. And there's a lot of interesting stuff in there:
- Always-on custom hot words (via DSP)
- Access to App search
- Interoperability with Magic Cue
- Access to contextual/ambient data (e.g. to build Magic Cue alternatives)
- Ability to run App Functions exposed by other apps (these are currently system privileged, unlike standard Android intents)
- Screen automation
- APIs for better integration with Google cloud services
- On-device models
- Background execution
This stuff can be very exciting for a lot of apps, people working on Android apps should reply to the public consultation even just to say that they agree with the measures.
