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?

      I am 100% serious. Maybe you should look up what social engineering is and how it works.

      People install TeamViewer and other stuff on their desktop, the execute commands in their terminal without nowing what it is.

      ou have clearly 0 qualifications to talk about it security

        Goalposts keep moving. 80% will install an apk, now it’s if coerced.

        Anyone who makes the claim that 80% of people installs apks is an idiot who cannot be taken seriously. Of fucking course they don’t.

          What? “Will install” not “have installed”. Maybe “would” is a better word, English is not my first language and I have a bad day, but there is no moving goal post.

            English is not my first language and I have a bad day

            Uh, so then why confidently correct others who do speak English as a first language? You haven’t made much of an attempt to do anything here other than say “I’m right everyone else is wrong”

                Lol still with the “I’m right” stance. Very helpful. If I’m being generous here you accidentally introduced a misunderstanding, did nothing to clear it up, and then blamed others for it. If I’m not, you’re just a troll.

                  Final try, this is the official new workflow from Google.

                  Did you know this existed? Are you aware while not very convenient or restores the full sideloading functionality once you went through this process?

                  What the fuck are we even debating about if facts, provable fucking facts, are ignored
