ScreenX Release Notes - v1.4.2

🚀 Critical Fixes & Stability Improvements

🛡️ Android 14+ MediaProjection Foreground Service Resolution

• Resolved SecurityException: Media projections require a foreground service of type ServiceInfo.FOREGROUND_SERVICE_TYPE_MEDIA_PROJECTION:
  • Fixed an issue on Android 14+ (API 34+) where starting a screen recording from the floating control overlay (e.g., during gameplay such as PUBG Mobile Lite) failed to start and caused the app/overlay to abruptly terminate.
  • Corrected foreground service promotion in ScreenRecordService so that when recording is initiated, startForeground() is always called with FOREGROUND_SERVICE_TYPE_MEDIA_PROJECTION (simultaneously preserving FOREGROUND_SERVICE_TYPE_SPECIAL_USE for the floating overlay and FOREGROUND_SERVICE_TYPE_MICROPHONE when audio capture is active).
  • Added dual-tier fallback mechanisms to ensure graceful foreground service transitions across Android 10 through Android 15+.

🎯 Seamless Floating Overlay & Recording Coexistence

• Enhanced runtime stability so that games and full-screen applications can launch screen recordings directly from the floating ball without interrupting active foreground sessions or dropping overlay states.
