This app is set to stop people from installing apks or using stores and apps not accepted by google (“verification” requires payment of course). The play store listing does not have images, a proper description, and the app cannot be opened.
Screenshots from the play app because google did something custom for this playstore listing which crashes Aurora. It’s fixed in the latest fdroid release, but I noticed that too late, so most screenshots are from googles shitty app.
To be clear, you can still bypass this either with ADB commands or waiting 24 hours.
Is it dumb you have to do this? Absolutely.
Do I like Google for doing this? Not at all.
I’m just sick of seeing so many people saying it’s completely stops you from side loading apps which is just untrue.
Did you ever hear a story about boiling a frog?
Oh I absolutely think they’ll expand on this in the future and lock it down even more. It doesn’t change the fact the way it is now, you can bypass.
