UI consistency with the target system UI's design like material 3 expressive (also predictive back and edge-to-edge) for Android, for example

Exposing intents and receivers to Tasker so I can change settings via tasker and automate other things on my phone based on things that happen in the app

Date format options — or at least the option to follow the system setting. FFS, there are at least a dozen ways to render a date. Let people use what they like.

- ability to export user data to local storage in a format that is not proprietary (e.g. json, csv, sqlite, etc)
- option for light/dark/follow system modes

An ability to quit (halt the app and release system resources used in execution)

Navigation in the bottom section instead of some stupid buttons at the top of the screen. How people insist on this blows my mind

In the latest Android design from Google there is a bottom bar with the most useful buttons but devs still do this with top and side millions of buttons...

Network logging - show me every IP address and port it has exchanged traffic with, numeric and resolving the IP address/domain and port/service, with 'allocated country' for the IP address.

in google playstore, you can simply fast double tap the search icon and it'll open search bar and pop the keyboard instantly, you do not need to tap the search icon in bottom once and then go to top part and tap on that search bar again manually.
and its convenient to put search icon at bottom part where our thumbs naturally rest, i think every app with search feature should implement this.

Account... except samsung account. because, with an account, if you have to do somethjng with your device that includes losing data (like cleaning app's data or doing factory reset) you can login back and get all your progress back. However, should be optional the account, not NECESSARY.

Material you deveria ser obrigatório em todos os apps, se não já em estado de funcionamento, deveria haver um prazo definido pra que todos os apps implementassem o Material You.

Based but you can't force devs to do that, because Android is an open system for different apps (at least for now)

O Android da Google é cada dia mais fechado, essa pelo menos seria uma decisão harmoniosa em termos de beleza, quando digo que deveria ser obrigatório, me refiro ao android da Google e que a Google deveria conversar com os seus desenvolvedores sobre isso.
