In API 28+, PackageInfo has signingInfo and signatures is deprecated.

Add methods to PackageInfoCompat to access commonly available signature info in an API independant way.

In Backward Compatibility (pre Android 13), the configuration is modified at the AppComaptActivity's level and hence the application context not getting modified is intended behaviour. Similar behaviour can be seen for nightMode.

Why is this the intended behavior? Appcompatdelegate that works halfways?
Can someone clarify?

AppCompatDelegate generally works at the Activity level. This is the case with other features such as NightMode as well. This is why it is intended that it does not affect the application context.

I'm re-assigning this to the team to assess the feasibility of extending the feature to alter the application context.

Hello, is there any update regarding to this behavior? Or any known workaround to avoid this issue? Thanks
