Thread 106929307

>Google is implementing new policies that will restrict the use of emulators on Android devices by requiring developers to verify their identities, which may lead to many popular emulators becoming unavailable. This change is part of a broader effort to enhance security and reduce the risk of malware associated with unverified apps.

How to circumvent it ?

retards dont know adb?

>>106929307 (OP)
Get an iphone boyo

>>106929307 (OP)
>>106929323
you can sideload on android and iphone

>>106929320
Yeah OP is retarded and so is anyone else who replies thinking they're a smartass jit.

>>106929307 (OP)
What's so hard about making a developer account?

>>106929329
>>106929334
retards don't know Google of going to end side loading

>>106929320
android is for poor brown people they don't own computers

>>106929320
my sweet summer child.
google will alter the deal whenever they feel like it.

>>106929365
adb is required for developers to test apps on their devices. How will they change that?
>you have to get EVERY test build signed in order to run it on your devices
Yeah, that's not going to happen.

>>106929375
that's literally how it works for iphones

Sorry I'm out of the loop but can't you just download an APK from the internet?

I don't get it. I just did webm related on a "super restricted" Android 15 phone and the only hurdle was giving cx file explorer permission to install third party APKs.

>>106929423
Google has said they are turning off apk installations from outside the play store sometime in 2027

>>106929307 (OP)
custom rom with microg instead of google play services

>>106929436
learn to read a calendar

>>106929423
yes but you won't be able to install it once the change goes live
you could use adb (unless google limits that too) but you'd need to do it for every app every time it updates

>>106929457
microg never worked

>>106929375
Test builds will get built and signed on Google servers.

>>106929487
works fine enough on my device

>>106929487
and graphene is dead so

>>106929464
Interesting, so this thing is practically just limited to...


third world shitholes?

>>106929307 (OP)
There are emulators on Play Store already, tho.

>>106929436
>He paid for Moon Reader
Why?

>>106929437
>any app install on a certified android device must be registered by a verified developer
>implying no unsigned sideloading on certified android devices
>implying certified android devices get an ota update to turn off unsigned sideloading
So unlocking the bootloader and installing a custom rom becomes the only way to sideload an unsigned apk after this change?

>>106929612
See:
>>106929464
>learn to read a calendar
Specifically:
>learn
>to
>read
>a
>CALENDAR
Since you're too retarded to see the very bottom:
>2027 and beyond: We will continue to roll out this requirement GLOBALLY
It's a matter of time before "first world shitholes" like the US gain it because Goojeet wants to shove this down your throat. It's two years out unless people make a stink about it in those "third world shitholes" enough to make Goojeet relent.

Google is playing with fire then. Being able to install whatever the fuck you want without a developer account is argualy the only thing advantage left in Android smartphones. iPhones now have a fucking file explorer which for iToddler history is like a huge leap in technological advancement.

>>106929686
Basically you have to jailbreak your phone.

>>106929307 (OP)
>register and verify the app, don't even need to be on google play
wow so hard
/g/ is full of chuds and tinfoil hats

>>106929365
any day now

>>106929437
>2027
We'll have full fledged linux phones by then.

>>106929642
NOOOOO but those are ILLEEEEGAL just like all emulate which is PIRACY

>>106929494
don't addon devs already have to hand over signing keys to googol if they want their shit in the play store?
I can see them requiring that, yes.
for security of children o algo.

>>106929804
I hope so...

Running sandboxed waydroid apps would be the way to go
