Google will require developer verification to install Android apps, including sideloading
F-Droid Forum [Unofficial]
March 31, 2026
Guess you censored the F word too. Regardless, I hate changes in general, and Developer Verification is one I would reverse immediately to maximize Privacy & Freedom.
Of course, with F-Droid 2.0 having a bad UI (Yeah…Google’s Files application spurred my hatred when it comes to unnecessary UI modifications), I feel like F-Droid could suffer a similar issue that leaves me behind deliberately.
