+### [GooglePlay](https://github.com/airnativeextensions/ANE-GooglePlay)
+
+[v1.2.0](https://github.com/airnativeextensions/ANE-GooglePlay/releases/tag/v1.2.0)
+
+This release introduces a powerful new extension for the Google Play Integrity API, making it easier to protect high-value actions such as purchases, rewards, and account operations.
+
+This extension is free to use, so you can start integrating Integrity checks immediately.
+
+#### Google Play Integrity API
+
+The Google Play Integrity API helps you verify that requests are coming from a genuine app install and trusted environment before you process sensitive actions. The recommended flow is to prepare the API once with your Google Cloud project number, request a standard token using a per-request hash, then send that token to your backend for validation. Standard requests are preferred for new integrations, with classic token requests still available for compatibility scenarios.
+
+Short example:
+
+```actionscript
+import com.distriqt.extension.googleplay.integrity.Integrity;
+
+Integrity.service.prepareIntegrityToken(PROJECT_NUMBER, function():void
+{
+  Integrity.service.requestIntegrityToken(requestHash, function(token:String):void
+  {
+    // Send token to backend for verification
+  });
+});
+```
