Android Developers: App security in the agentic era

This presentation explores the strategic shift from viewing AI as a generic coding assistant to leveraging it as a context-aware, automated security peer reviewer integrated directly into the Android development lifecycle. We discuss how specialized AI agents, connected to the Android toolchain via skills, can help improve app security. By bridging the gap between raw LLM capabilities and deep project context, this approach empowers development teams to maintain high-velocity feature delivery without compromising rigorous security and policy standards.
