    I’m probably being too optimistic, but they’ve gotta have a switch in dev settings to disable this check, right? I really hope they’re not truly, full stop, not allowing you to side load apps that don’t meet this stupid requirement.

    FFS they just had that awful Pixel 10 launch event where they talked about Android being open and what not.

      To add do your FFS:

      Aren’t they also adding a proper Linux Terminal with the next Android? You do this but ban installing non-store apps? Make it make sense!

      A while back, there were rumors of Microsoft banning piracy from windows, then it turned out to be a nothing burger. I hope this is the same.
