Please revert this change or provide a solution as it totally breaks our app: https://developer.android.com/about/versions/15/behavior-changes-all#media-projection-status-bar-chip

"To provide an intuitive user experience, screen projection now automatically stops when the device screen is locked."

Our app "AirMusic" records other app's audio(music, podcasts, radio..) and streams it to a remote speaker. Users are using it to enjoy their music/podcast/radio e.g. via AirPlay or DLNA.

This change now prevents the user from locking their phone and they have to keep their phone always on while streaming their audio.

It has already been reported by our users using Android 15 Beta.

The app does not record any displayed content at all but just uses the MediaProjection to record the audio:

MediaProjectionManager mediaProjectionManager = (MediaProjectionManager) AirMusicApplication.getAppContext().getSystemService(Context.MEDIA_PROJECTION_SERVICE);
                MediaProjection mediaProjection = mediaProjectionManager.getMediaProjection(intent.getIntExtra(AudioProxy.BROADCAST_ACTION_EXTRA_RESULT_CODE, 0), intent.getParcelableExtra(Intent.EXTRA_INTENT));
                AudioFormat audioFormat = new AudioFormat.Builder().setEncoding(AudioFormat.ENCODING_PCM_16BIT).setSampleRate(44100).setChannelMask(AudioFormat.CHANNEL_IN_STEREO).build();

                AudioPlaybackCaptureConfiguration audioPlaybackCaptureConfiguration = new AudioPlaybackCaptureConfiguration.Builder(mediaProjection).addMatchingUsage(AudioAttributes.USAGE_MEDIA).addMatchingUsage(AudioAttributes.USAGE_GAME).addMatchingUsage(AudioAttributes.USAGE_UNKNOWN).build();
                recordInstance = new AudioRecord.Builder().setAudioPlaybackCaptureConfig(audioPlaybackCaptureConfiguration)
                        .setAudioFormat(audioFormat).setBufferSizeInBytes(bufferSize * 10).build();
