Can someone clarify: according to Murena’s website, they use /e/OS, which is what they call “degoogled” Android. I would assume degoogled means no Play Store. If that’s the case, what’s going to happen next year, when Google starts blocking installing .apks by unverified developers? Which, I’m assuming, is a good chunk of developers who have apps on F-Droid.
Presumably google is going to block app installation via a google service. If you do not have google services in your phone there’s nothing to block you.
This is exactly what you want, because using a degoogled phone won’t be affected by this change.
No worries Google’s actions against installing apks from outside the Play Store will only influence Android, not any of the other operating systems that are based on the Android Open Source Project (AOSP)
Indeed, by default AFAICT they provide Aurora Store and F-Droid.
Regarding the consequence… well I don’t know the future. Maybe alternative stores will have a “trick” so that they are considered verified and thus can install other
.apk, or maybe it won’t matter for rooted phones anyway.I think custom android ROMs like /e/os will disable this new “verified developers” check, so no peoblem?
