@3 Thank you.
The pushing of the data could be right during install time, so that it would either all succeed or all fail, and that we won't need to check if it succeeded and only then to copy the files.
It also avoids the need to have access to the "/Android/obb" folder, so in this case it won't matter if we have access to it or not.

Feedback from our development team:
Any app which has the REQUEST_INSTALL_PACKAGES appop should be able to write to Android/obb using native file APIs.
Pushing OBBs atomically with the APK sounds like a nice feature - unfortunately we do not have time to do this for Android 11, but will consider this for a future release. Thanks for reporting.

@5 Please offer to do it via the Android framework AND adb command, including split APKs install via adb .
Also please consider a new file format for splits APKs which includes OBB files. A standard one that will reduce the need to se any new formats, as there are already too many made up formats by apps out there (APKM, XAPK, APKS, SPLIT,...).
This can make it easier to handle the installation.
Such a file could include : all split APK files, OBB files, information file (to avoid parsing the files within), app-icon (again, to avoid parsing the APK files within). This file format should be open sourced and preferably ZIP-based.

@8 Yes, I know. I wrote multiple requests, each in different direction to handle as much use-cases I can think of.
Why did you change to "won't fix" though? Those are not the same requests, and not the same as the current one.
You said you'd consider it for next versions after 11...

So will it now be assigned for 5 more years until it will really be looked into?
Description
A short description of the issue: The field "due" is not relevant. Missed the exact time value. The Tasks API fetches only date value but ignore the time value.
Whichever time is used, the response is the same:
Google App script. Top menu -> Resources -> Advanced Google Services -> Turn on "Task API"
