Google tightens verification rules for Android app developers

Google has introduced new requirements for Android developers, meaning apps from unverified developers can still be installed, but only after a 24-hour delay. The change affects the sideloading process, where users install apps outside the official Play Store. Developers must now verify their identity for their apps to install immediately, a move critics see as added friction for independent app distribution.
Why now: The new verification requirement affects sideloading and independent Android developers, sparking debate about app freedom.
