  The jist of it:

  In August 2025, Google announced ↗ that as of September 2026, it will no longer be possible to develop apps for the Android platform without first registering centrally with Google. This registration will involve:

  Paying a fee to Google
  Agreeing to Google’s Terms and Conditions
  Providing government identification
  Uploading evidence of the developer’s private signing key
  Listing all current and future application identifiers

  Thing is, I’m not seeing a lot of alternatives out there - at least not ones that are cost effective, privacy-conscious and user friendly. I’d be very grateful if someone could prove me wrong.

    I’m holding out for graphene in Motorola next year. Fingers crossed

    I agree, but this really pisses me off. I’m honestly thinking about buying a flip-phone. It would probably improve my quality of life too.

      I’m really intrigued by the Mudita Kompakt… if it wasn’t $400.

  Can’t come at a worse time. People are just learning to make things through vibe coding, and they’re gonna want to put their own apps on their phones and their friend’s phones.

  If Google embraced their side loading, it could become an even bigger selling point.

    Holy shit that’s a terrible idea and the best reason I’ve ever heard for banning sideloading.
