>Starting in September 2026, Android will require all apps to be registered by verified developers in order to be installed on certified Android devices.

>>106385619 (OP)
No sideloading, no sale.

>>106385619 (OP)
You can probably turn it off in dev menu like you already need to

>>106385695
No, they're going to require developers to register. If there's any conceivable way for a pajeet scammer to trick a senile boomer into sideloading an app that will steal all their banking credentials, they'll do it. Or rather, they'll use the idea that a pajeet scammer could do that in order to force this shit.

>certified android devices
What is a certified android device? I run an unlocked Motorola with Lineage OS and only open source software, no gapps. While I doubt me device would qualify as certified as long as I can run this config I could care less about how they lock down their closed source shit.
There is no closed source apps you need. Either use the website of your bank or do what you need on a desktop.

what exactly is the point of getting rid of one of the biggest selling points of android phones? bit like shooting yourself in the face isn't it.

>>106385619 (OP)
NOOOO NOOOOO NOOOOOOOOOO NOOOOOOOOOOO NOOOOOO NOOOOOOO

so do you need to doxx yourself to google in order to install muh pirate manga reading apps etc?

>one of the biggest selling points
For you. For normalfags who will never ever have a legitimate reason to install anything outside the walled garden app store this is irrelevant and an obvious choice for Google to make because the overwhelming majority of their users are retarded normalfags who will fuck up their shit at the first opportunity. You thought you were Android's core userbase but really you were just a foot in the door and now that Google doesn't need you any more they're going to toss you. Phonetoddlers btfo.

huh. does that mean i have to become a graphene weirdo in 4 years? will google have killed graphene by then?

>>106386582
in 3 years your banking won't work
and i dont mean only the app
i mean your browser also wont have BIG BROTHER certified attestation when running in lineage and so you wont be able to log in

>>106385619 (OP)
If Android is open source, what stops you from adding a root certificate that you control to sign your own apps to the ROM itself?

Well that makes it a LOT easier to switch to something more minimal - I'm at the point where either a minimal phone or trying postmarket is worthwhile.

Currently use GrapheneOS which is S-tier, but its clear this will lead to issues with the Play Store sandbox, yet alone their issues with Google neutering Pixel AOSP.

>>106386773
Well nothing - Android can still be built without these lockdowns regardless, but your device will be locked out of Play Store, Attestation, and any apps which use Play Protect.
So practically it would ruin the phone for most people outside of /g/.

>>106386768
Then I will fire up a virtual machine running Windows or whatever is necessary. Or maybe I will just use the telephone. Regardless things will never be as bad as people say. As long as you don't have to connect to their system they are powerless. I will continue to use open source along with whatever hardware I can scavenge.

>>106386815
i'm not trying to discourage you. keep on doing it. just a warning that it's not ending at apps. there's a whole closed source web many of us (well everyone on 4chan) uses and they are already talking about avenues of making that difficult to use with foss

>>106386815
I admire your spirit but if banks and other relatively essential services actually sign off on using hardware attestation, you can't really scrounge around it.
I do think it will take longer than >>106386768
says for 2FA-only desktop banking to be phased out (especially how slow the 2FA rollout was with banks), but once Windows 10 is the oldest desktop OS I can see browser-forced attestation becoming the norm. If you want to get around that, you'll probably have to actually visit the bank lol.

>>106386618
No, you need to doxx yourself to google in order to have the pirate manga reading app you're developing be usable on Android.

>>106386628
I don't trust the literal surveillance state not to pull the plug as well.

>>106386838
>closed source web
People need to ditch that shit. The powers that be only have control over you if you play in their sandbox. Ditch it and create your own with like minded people. It will slower and smaller but that is the price you pay to be free.

>>106386162
>If there's any conceivable way for a pajeet scammer to trick a senile boomer into sideloading an app that will steal all their banking credentials
there is no need to sideload apps for that normal playstore apps already do that. Google doesn't check the app itself they only "verify" the developer i.e. force everyone to pay a fee.

What is a certified android device?

>>106386849
Create a dedicated machine for official use and use other hardware and software for everything else. The idea they are going to lock every single packet down and every machine that works will be under their control is beyond crazy.
It will mean that the few that want something outside what is created by them will have to do it themselves.
The BBS is about to make a huge comeback, it and similar solutions that can be deployed by a single guy and used to create small communities outside the walled garden will be the future.

>>106386815

>The BBS is about to make a huge comeback, it and similar solutions that can be deployed by a single guy and used to create small communities outside the walled garden will be the future.

Everyone says this, but most small communities like that lean on the the identity verification or antispam techniques of corpos like Discord or Telegram. There are just so many more spammers and schizos on the internet compared to the old days that you need some way to rate throttle them or any community you have will be destroyed unless you have some method of identity verification or make people pay for membership or something.

>>106386930
All the current legislation is around website and none tall about age or Id verification being required to simply connect to the internet, at least that I am aware
And fuck it If they want to go that far you can up small mesh networks and link those with store and forward techniques like fidonet. You could even use the post office and sneaker net them that way.
It is not the end of the world and restrictions go hand in hand with innovation. This is the end for normalfags but whatever. You can't save them.

>>106386162
>>106386421
unironically more likely to happen to zoomers since all they have to do is show you how to do it in a tiktok video

>>106386981
It seems to me it's only a matter of time before your ISP starts requiring it. Eventually all mainstream hardware will support hardware attestation and as far as your bank, your ISP and basically every other entity that is in it for money there is no reason not to leverage this "security" to ensure that you're not spreading malware or spamming or whatever. Yeah you can make your own internet with blackjack and hookers but based on how dead the small parts of the web are right now I can't see that going very well, at least not where I live. As far as normalfags are concerned there's nothing for them to be saved from. There is no threat. This is not the end for them, just a continuation of everything they gladly put up with on a daily basis.

>>106387072
>Yeah you can make your own internet with blackjack and hookers but based on how dead the small parts of the web are right now I can't see that going very well, at least not where I live.
That is the future for those who choose to exist beyond the wall. Whatever communities are established will be smaller and depend on obscure or old technologies. The BBS I frequent is a good example. It has a but less than 100 active users but those users are engaged. You just have to get used to the slower pace.

Good luck unlocking your bootloader on most new phones.

Truly disgusting. Android is now a shitty version of iOS. Computer freedom is eroded at every turn. Soon we'll need government sign offs on the software we run. The future is bleak.

no, courts already ruled google a monopolist:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_v._Google_LLC_(2023)
>Filed in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, the suit aims to force Google to sell off significant portions of adtech business and require the company to cease certain business practices.[3] The trial began on September 9, 2024 and concluded on September 27.[4] Closing arguments were delivered on November 25, 2024.[5] On April 17, 2025, Brinkema ruled that Google had formed an illegal monopoly in its advertising business.[6]
now hearings are set to be held to determine potential remedies like a break-up

>>106389476
they'll still choose android because they won't have a choice. iOS is shittier in every way anyhow. Not sure why people think it's purely about side-loading, unless you're a woman and fall for marketing memes.

it took iOS years to just allow you to freely place icons, still has stupid top left corner back button shit, laggier and laggier settings app that "async load" content and throw off your clicks. it's still objectively slower in most all apps and workflows. not saying Adroid isn't shit either btw, but this delusion that iPhones go unsold to many purely because of sideloading is delusional.

>>106389501
delusional.

all android apps suck compared to iphone.
>iOS and Android are, from a macro perspective, rival peer platforms. But it’s not like, say, game consoles—PlayStation vs. Xbox vs. Switch—where all of the major games on all of the consoles are striving for the highest possible production values. Not one Android Mastodon client seems to be striving for iOS-level production values. Again, not iOS style—just the baseline level of polish and detail-sweating that are de rigueur for apps like new Mastodon clients on iOS. Your bank’s iOS app probably sucks (mine does), but that’s because it’s probably a cross-platform web wrapper that’s nearly identical on Android (mine is). Nintendo Switch games don’t have the same style as PlayStation or Xbox games, but all of them are trying to be really nice. That’s just not a thing on Android. It’s banking apps almost all the way down. It’s an entirely different culture, with a different value system from iOS.

ok... then buy an iPhone. Don't know what to tell you other than the reality that I have both an iPhone and an Android phone on my desk and on a most basic level:
fingerprint > face ID
UI navigation is objectively better on Android.
Android keyboards are much more varied and better than Apple's which won't even let you do basic things like move cursor between words, move cursor with spacebar or other basic UX.

both of these are purely use-based and not related to side loading. Not sure if most people who claim iPhones are better have actually used an Android phone or they fell for the marketing kool-aid like a good goy.

>>106388753
it's because all these countries are known to spread garbage apps to their own citizens, hiding behind shell corporations and their populations are enormous. getting people cough up ID to be trusted isn't entirely bad. it's not like it will affect anybody that uses this board, since nocoders don't actually code, in fact, they can't even larp as coders either. they think copy/pasting something they read on orange reddit is coding.

>these governments are almost entirely at the mercy of big tech.
not at the mercy, been bought to say nothing. political donations go along way in making sure people say nothing about the issue. since disgusting and morally bankrupt corporations like google and apple don't know how the world works, what they can get away with in the usa is shit on by the rest of the world. european union has extracted hundreds of billions of dollars out these garbage corporations, which demonstrates just how powerless american corporate interests are in current year. a joke nation.

They should be more concerned.

It would make shutting them down easier. Isn't that the stated intention? Shut down malware. They just declare revanced to be malware and it over.

Nothing in the world, not a SINGLE FUCKING THING, is sacred to the pajeet. Everything is for sale, every agreement can be changed, every promise can be revoked if it means the pajeet will make a little extra money in the short term and/or they won't have to work as hard.
A career pajeet's sole purpose in life is to ruin the things you accept as good for personal gain. It doesn't matter if you have a passion project that you pour your heart and soul into, because as soon as you let a pajeet lead it, he will restructure the entire business model to revolve around letting everyone NOT do anything, and he will gaslight you that it's actually good for you sir, please do not have a doubt. Then he can pad his resume by saying he made your company achieve 10% extra profit, but by next year when your company goes under because everyone stopped consuming your enshittified, jeeted product, he will just be at another company, doing the exact same shit all over again.
If you let pajeets run your business, they will gut it, hollow it out, and feast on its lifeblood like it's the most delicious cow shit they've ever tasted.

It's the final form of jewish fuckery.
Every system is good at the start and serves it purpose well until jews put their hands on it, exploit it, and ruin it forever,
Just like they ruined communism, socialism and now capitalism.

Once you've achieve a large enough customer base, you can start locking things down to snuff out competitors. They're only using security as an excuse to do this. If they were concerned about security, they would've done this since day one.

You're a schizo. This is never going to happen, kek.

How will this be enforced on a technical level?

Will there be an OS update that rolls out that locks it down? If so, would that only be on Android 16, so would devices still on Android 13, 14, and `15 be safe?

>>106386421
Same way japs see the european/texan developer as the rural boy talent that can do miracle work for their IPs
Same shit.

Maybe, but this would tank their marketshare overnight, especially when playstore apps are compromised even for normies like with telegram.

Didn't google already lose the antitrust lawsuit about stopping people from buying apps from outside the google store? This sounds vaguely similar antitrust.

Too many people (((noticing))) now
lock down EVERYTHING digital
internet/digital data wipe via 'cyber pandemic' incoming to wipe the slate clean and pave the way for the true 'internet 2.0', censored, locked down, completely controlled
with the past 40 years of digital information wiped they are free to redefine history and current events as they see fit

All my banks have a forced digital token that needs an app even from website. I just keep an old iphone around for all these meme stuff and use my android for all the "shady" sideloading shit.

Google claims this will keep Android open, but what about that one FOSS app that only I use? Will that be gated off?

>>106398462
It will.

>>106390222
Yes, but likely not for a few hundred years at least.

I think anon is mostly referring to the fact that a lot of huawei's ecosystem is built around sideloading

It'll probably only apply to newer devices. But thing is they're targeting app devs, so even if you're fine with sticking with a 5 year old version of android, a lot of devs are gonna want their apps to run on modern devices too

I would prefer to ban all Indians instead.

This will kill any app development outside of those devs who have established themselves on play store.

This is first and foremost an attack on privacy and annonimity.
During the last year or two I have seen a strong push from governments to restrict peoples privacy, destroy annonimity and introduce more control and surveillance. I think this sideloading ban or sideloading that requires one to register with google and get their permission first (so not really sideloading anymore) ties into the increased control somehow. I am not sure yet how, but possibly apps that provide services like secure, encrypted communications, messaging, vpns etc outside of play store will not get permission from google, next there will be some sort of push from google to weaken security of new and existing apps on play store by forcing devs through legal means or technical means, those who refuse will not be able to publish on play and will not get google permission to have their apps sideloaded.

When are these cunts going to realise that not all of us are childlike adults that constantly need "protection"?

Just build your own appstore.

how many people do you think actually side-load apks? 99.9% of users have no idea what this even means.

the market won't save you here, only intervention by the courts, which i think is unlikely, despite all the nerds on HN shouting "ANTITRUST"
