Google will require developer verification to install Android apps, including sideloading

F-Droid Forum [Unofficial] April 21, 2026

I haven’t been on the Forum as much due to my sheer hatred of the staff

thats your problem and not related to this topic

Seriously, if this post gets censored, I’ll be ******* done with Discourse

understandable, its Dsicourse and not f-droid staff you hate unlike two sentences earlier (also offtopic)

considering the evolution, and the fact that F-Droid itself will never use Shizuku or related ADB circumventions

i believe that since new alpha versions allow you to download the APK files you can just use anyapk.

F-Droid itself unfortunately will fade away as “Advanced Flow” gets forced onto everybody, but the applications that utilize ADB to install applications will continue to thrive

same as above, share apk and click on anyapk, it can install from share menu. (also they can f%ck adb as well, others said that previously in this topic so i have no reason to not believe that)

Android is seriously under threat of being completely locked down

after 550 replies i believe we already noticed that
