Google tells Android app developers to cool it on memory use, or else

Google will begin enforcing memory-usage restrictions for Android apps in response to ongoing RAM issues. A memo published by the company highlights the Play Store's role in implementing these new limits, which are intended to assist developers with industry-wide hardware constraints and Android's memory limits. Non-compliance with these restrictions will result in consequences for developers. The memory limitations were first introduced with Android 17 and initially applied to Pixel phones.
