Question: When will the SDK Runtime feature be enabled by default?

[canyie]

Hello,

This is not a Bug Report, but a question.

I have been interested in the new SDK Runtime feature for at least 2 years. I wrote a simple test app myself using the platform API (instead of the Jetpack support library because it is unacceptably large, I can handle compatibility issues myself) to load SDKs, and everything worked fine. However, I have to manually turn on the feature by running adb commands, even on the latest Android 16 DP1. Even on the main branch, the feature is still disabled by default: https://cs.android.com/android/platform/superproject/main/+/main:packages/modules/AdServices/sdksandbox/service/java/com/android/server/sdksandbox/SdkSandboxSettingsListener.java;l=49

While the official document says Android 15 includes this feature: https://developer.android.com/about/versions/15/features#privacy-sandbox :

Android 15 includes the latest Android Ad Services extensions, incorporating the latest version of the Privacy Sandbox on Android. This addition is part of our work to develop technologies that improve user privacy and enable effective, personalized advertising experiences for mobile apps. Our privacy sandbox page has more information about the Privacy Sandbox on Android developer preview and beta programs to help you get started.

I have no idea when the feature will be ready for use in production builds. I've searched everywhere but found nothing. Anyone know the ETA of this new feature? Your help will be greatly appreciated.
