Some tech experts claim that the new Android 12 specifically focuses on improving the Android device's Material You redesign. They added that other enhancements and new advanced features are just its second priority.
On the other hand, the tech giant manufacturer is also making efforts to allow applications, which are available on the Play Store take, take advantage of Android 12's new design language and dynamic theming.
However, it seems like Urbandroid will be the first one to do this since it is planning to release its Sleep As Android beta version, which takes partial non-final, and undocumented APIs.

As of the moment, Google hasn't confirmed yet of the activity of Urbandroid is illegal. However, the giant tech firm has also been making some changes with the app developer's input.
On the other hand, since the APIs that Urbandroid will acquire are partially documented and not yet final, they will surely change once the official Android 12 Material You redesign debuts.

"This app uses the Device Administrator permission. The reason is effective CAPTCHA (a feature to make sure you wake up in the morning) so you cannot avoid alarms by uninstalling the app during an alarm," added the giant app creator.
What is API?
API is currently a major deal for Android 12. Red Hat explained that it is a set od protocols and definitions, which are used by developers to integrate and create application systems.
