Through an updated Google API, Android app developers can now effectively block sideloading and force downloads from the Play Store.
Well, that will make it easy to uninstall apps.
All my homies download from fdroid
Apps on F-Droid are not using proprietary Google APIs and won’t be affected.
Okay good. That was my main concern since I opt to download the same app from F-droid over Google play if it is an option.
It’s a problem if you need a fucking banking app for example, and the bank won’t let you sideload it and you’re running a deGoogled OS. Then you suddenly need a backup phone with the full surveillance Android just to do banking.
