Is support for cross-fork stacked PRs coming in the near future? I was surprised that didn't come before the feature entered public preview, as it seems rather important for the feature to be useful on public repositories.

AirDrop is based on AWDL, which is a proprietary protocol that requires low-level access to the Wi-Fi radio to implement. Apple told the EU that they have long-term plans to migrate from AWDL to the standard Wi-Fi Aware, but have not yet do

Things have inverted: iOS now has a user-visible filesystem apps can expose their data in, while current Android versions model everything around "documents" sourced from "document providers" with major performance and f

These rulings only affect third-party apps, not AirDrop. Apple is not required to stop using AWDL for system apps, and is also not required to allow third-party implementations of the AirDrop protocol. They are however required to implement

The Wi-Fi radio's firmware has to have special support for communicating via AWDL while staying connected to an access point. The blog post does say that they plan to expand support to other devices, though.

All of the code for this (including AWDL, at least to an extent) is implemented as part of Play Services, unfortunately.

Active monitor mode doesn't allow using AWDL while staying connected to a regular Wi-Fi network. That needs special firmware support.

They don't. Google implemented AWDL, as can be trivially proven by just running `strings` on the new code in Play Services.

From my understanding, it's relatively well known how to break Widevine L3, but nobody wants to release code (for obvious reasons). Widevine L1 is much better secured, as it's required to be implemented in hardware.

Isn't this feature what's blocking Bluetooth Passthrough on macOS Dolphin?
