google accessibility services block may impact quicktile use for android users with advanced device protection
Android 17 blocks non-accessibility apps from the AccessibilityService API | anonhaven.com
> Google added an accessibility API lockdown in Android 17 Beta 2. When Advanced Protection Mode (AAPM) is active, the system prevents any app not classified as an accessibility tool from receiving AccessibilityService access. ...
> ... Apps must declare isAccessibilityTool=true in their service metadata to pass the check. Screen readers, voice control systems, and switch-based input tools qualify. Automation apps, custom launchers, notification customizers, password managers, and antivirus software do not [qualify].
Bitwarden uses accessibility services to support the quick action tiles.

I'm not sure when this change might come into effect. The article mentions Android 17 Beta 2, so I think (?) it might come to standard android when we get Android 17 which is supposed to be in June or July.
It seems like this might affect certain users if they have android's advance device protection active and they use bitwarden quicktiles.
