Android 12 Developer Preview 3 released with new app splash screens, improved haptics, better third-party camera support and more
Google has released the third Developer Preview for Android 12 weeks before the Android I/O. This comes after its first Android 12 preview release in February, and Developer Preview 2 in March. The update brings new app launch experience, new video and camera capabilities to help developers get more out of underlying hardware support, and a new permission for exact alarms to help users save battery.
Improved app launch experience – New app launch animation for all apps from the point of launch, a splash screen showing the app icon, and a transition to the app itself. Developers can customize it with custom icon or an animation, so apps can maintain their unique branding.

You ll be able to view the list of verified links that an app can open by heading over to its app info page. In case you don t want an app to open verified links automatically, you can disable the behavior with the help of the new open supported links toggle in the Open by default section in the app info page
