They've updated the rules. You will need to sign every app on Play Store with the certificate provided by Google. Just like on App Store.
- saghm 6y agoIf I understand GP's comment correctly, they're referring to the fact that Android lets you install apps directly from the .apk file without needing to get it though the Play store, and you can still have Android scan the app to see if it's known to be malicious if you enable that.
- rock_artist 6y agoYes. but also just running your own compiled code on Apple's iDevice eco-system. You MUST register a namespace (com.mycompany.MyApp) and get a it a certificate from them. For paid - that's 1YR for your app to run. For free - that's 1week for the cert. There's no way running YOUR code on YOUR device without it being signed by Apple (or jailbreaking).
