How does this affect termux? Is it going to die or is it only going to be able to have packages that are from registered developers?
That's actually a really interesting question.
I understand that Apple takes issue with packages that can themselves "take packages". But historically, I don't believe that Google has. Of course, Google also hasn't done the registration thing historically, either.
Hope they would be sued in America and Europe for it. I can't believe it will be OK... And can't believe they clearly think it will be.
How long until they patch out getting developer mode working on you phone without a registration, requiring you to pay for it and also take a "short" AI generated crash course in app development and monetization?
This is the final push I needed to switch to GrapheneOS. Thanks Google! Now, if only I didn't have to give Google money for the Pixel so I can install GrapheneOS.
Literally TODAY someone I know installed an application called "PDF viewer for android" that had a green adobe icon and it started wrecking absolute havoc on their phone with pop ads and redirects to scam support sites.
The AppStore is full of this shit.
So, will an app like this

which uses (w)adb, be able to install apk as I currently do?
Or will they also fuck this up ?
