Google wants to make sideloading Android apps safer by verifying developers’ identities - Android Authority
Google wants to make sideloading safer on Android by verifiying the identities of developers who distribute apps outside the Play Store.Mishaal Rahman (Android Authority)

People saying "But I use a degoogled custom ROM, so I won't be affected" are missing the point. Apps not on Google Play are already a niche. Banning them on most people's devices is a big issue, even if some people can still escape.
Also the general trend of Google becoming more closed may make even custom ROMs impossible eventually.
Under-reported detail: If you don't pay a fee to Google, they limit how many people can install your apps and how many apps you are allowed to have.

in reply to Val Packett 🧉 • • •yeh it's a great point! are there other dangers to consider? we're very open to tips on this 🙏
we're discussing the need to approach this more holistically and translate also the docs which people would copy/pasta from.
we're working closely with people sharing sysadmin skills with others in spanish but that is not their first language. english is then a 3rd language. so not having sub-command translation is confusing the situation significantly...
i haven't seen a single CLI tool in my life that has translatable sub-commands/flags but i suspect that is just my bias and the the general concentration of software development in english speaking centers...
