## What it is
A pure-Java Android library that bypasses restrictions on non-SDK (hidden) interfaces, offering two variants: HiddenApiBypass (Unsafe-based, reliable) and LSPass (faster, no Unsafe, but more easily blocked). It lets apps invoke restricted methods and constructors and enumerate hidden fields and methods.

## Use cases
- invoke restricted Android hidden APIs from Java
- call non-SDK methods blocked on Android 9+
- enumerate hidden methods and fields of an Android class
- bypass hidden API enforcement without native code
- access restricted constructors on newer Android versions

## When to choose
- you need reliable access to non-SDK interfaces on Android 10+ without native code
- you want a stable approach not relying on ART internals or meta-reflection
- you need to list all methods/fields of a class including restricted ones

## When to avoid
- you publish on Google Play and cannot disable dependencies info reporting
- you only need fast initialization and can tolerate future blocking (LSPass trade-offs)
- your target APIs are available through official SDK alternatives
