How is this different than when Google wants to do this? Because as far as I remember the consensus when the topic was last posted on HN was pretty clear that this was Google doing Bad Evil Things (as you have no guarantee that the code you submit is the code published).
- toast0 5y agoOn iOS, the security model has always been Apple signs the code, and no cryptographic protection from Apple modifying it. On Android, the original security model was that the developer signs the code, preventing a distributor from modifying it (as long as the signature checks are sound). Apple's system is worthy of complaining about, but you can only bring it up so often. Google taking Android backwards in this regard is worth making a fuss over; but Google is likely to just steamroll through.
