I'm not sure if this older information ever made it into Android 15... <https://www.androidpolice.com/project-mainline-android-14/> Project Mainline in Android 15: What to expect Finally, here's a sneak peek at some of the new APEX/Project Mainline modules we may see in next year's Android 15 "Vanilla Ice Cream" release: CrashRecovery: I have no idea what this will do. There's an empty repository in AOSP for it, but that's all that's public so far. NFC: As I previously reported, Google is working on turning Android's NFC stack into a modular system component. There's no code for this in AOSP repositories yet, but a commit description from a Googler suggests it'll happen. RemoteAuth(entication): It's not entirely clear what RemoteAuth is for, but based on my initial reading of the code that's public, it seems like it'll let you use a UWB-enabled smartwatch as a "remote authenticator." Perhaps this will let you use your smartwatch to unlock apps on your phone in the future. ThreadNetwork (part of Connectivity): Google is actively working on a Thread network stack for Android that's decoupled from Google Play Services. Thread, if you aren't aware, is a wireless protocol designed for Matter-enabled devices. UWB vendor HAL will become updatable: Android 13 introduced an (optional) UWB Mainline module, though only the system-side HAL was updatable. In Android 15, however, the vendor-side HAL will become updatable. That's my high-level summary of what to expect in Android 15.
