A better direction might be making side-loading safer. Rather than forcing people to whitelist all APKs, adding signatures, doing organisational verification.

Stuff that Google Play does, just split out from the marketing and download service.
- UncleMeat 8y agoThe problem is that a tremendous amount of sideloading happens offline. This makes it very hard for anybody to make it safe.
- oliwarner 8y agoI don't recognise that market. Why are these people able to get APKs without a network connection? Either way, I would imagine that the sort of market we're talking about here —Fortnite, an online-only game— would probably have a network connection available. And even then, signature chains would still work for strong signing the APK, even if it were installed offline.
