Subject: deprecate sharedUserId attribute
X-Git-Url: http://git.osdn.net/view?a=commitdiff_plain;h=6372435f0e83655aa7710ca482faa064f2bb418f;p=android-x86%2Fframeworks-base.git

deprecate sharedUserId attribute

Shared user ids have caused numerous issues, inconsistencies,
and other random behaviours. They are generally not needed as
proper methodologies -- such as providers and services -- exist
and should be used for cross-package interaction.

We are deprecating the sharedUserId and sharedUserLabel
attributes in Q with the eventual goal of entirely removing them
in a future Android release.

Fixes: 129297713
Test: none. doc only change
