PSA: Android Q blocks executing binaries in your apps private data directory

This seems as though it could be irritating. Does any one know if it would affect something like termux? Could it affect things like terminal emulators? Normally I would just root, but some manufacturers don't allow bootloader unlocking (and this seems designed to make root-by-exploit harder).

Edit: just scrolled down further in the thread, and yes, it does break termux. I guess I'll be one of those people stuck on an old version for ever now. What a pain. Also, even if it gets fixed, things like cpan/pip/gem etc. will have issues. Apparently, you can't even compile something, and applications will now have to be distributed in huge collections (apks). Yay.

Edit 2: Some think that python/perl/ruby stuff will still work, but I know for a fact that some python modules are interfaces to c programs (numpy, scipy) and that many ruby modules are similar (remember nokogiri "building native extensions"?).

This might break apps like termux, that rely on exec(). https://github.com/termux/termux-app/issues/1072#issuecommen...
