Does anyone here actually support Google’s Developer Verification?

I don’t. I’ve put a warning about it in my repo because I’m against policies like sideloading restrictions, forced ID verification.

Curious what other devs here think. Is Play Store still worth the hassle?

    How about an apple phone?

    Or how about that: projects like Linux and Ubuntu phones died because there was no interest in it, because there was Google. And now, everybody wants an alternative.

    They are out there, you can use opensource Android forks, you don’t have to use Google

      Android forks

      Soon to be locked out from participating in society because of play integrity, digital IDs and age verification. The EU is very likely to use strictly Apple/Google, the very monopolists they “despise”. Don’t give me the “just go to the post office by foot”… I could also “technically” live in a cave, I guess. Man stfu, your bullshit doesn’t stick here.

        Ah another myth “the EU App”, I will not go I to detail, but each member state must implement its own app. Yes, the reference implementation uses Google services currently, but there is not a single , working , published app! Not one.
