- eitland 7y agoFor Android, this is how I would approach it if I had to do it starting now: Add a checkbox to show apps tjat aren't approved yet. Make it default off. Turn it off every time you leave the Play store app. Disable it for people under 18. If a user still wants to install the app point out the app isn't approved yet and ask for password. There, problem solved..?
