They're saying that
but I wonder how is the device going to tell between these different types of APKs? Like it already says it's an untrusted source will it just say "hobbyist or student package" when you install? and is basically just changing the text really gonna improve security?
It will either allow installation or reject the app. You simply won't be able to install an app from banned/unverified developer.
