According to new media reports, Google has confirmed that a tool called Extension Software Developer Kit (Extensive SDK) is available for developers. The tool will enable them to use features like Android 13's new photo picker in apps running on some Android 11 and 12 versions. The company also revealed that the feature "extends support for some platform functionality to existing Android versions".
The update also sets the stage for the expansion of privacy sandbox testing on Android, according to a Google spokesperson.

Google is adding a new feature in Android 13 that will let users change the audio output based on the proximity of the device. Users will be able to get notifications on their smartphones and tablets asking them to authorize the use of the nearest output device, such as their phone, speakers, headphones, TV, car, and more.
