In August, Google announced that it will require developer verification to install Android apps, including through sideloading. That’s continuing, but Google is working on a solution for “experienced users.”

    “Install” is the word they’re deliberately not using.

      If you can find an app on github you more than qualify.

      Hopefully it’s just a switch in some advanced submenu in the Settings.

        My guess would be a new setting in developer options.

      What counts as being an experienced user? Using F-Droid instead of Google Play!
