Just wantend to ask, in light of Google pulling an Apple in a couple months and preventing users from installing random APKs, is anyone working on a sideloading mechanism of some sort? I'd like my apps to remain out of their capricious, purposefully labyrinthic and failure prone stewardship for as long as possible
- p_j_w 5y ago>Google pulling an Apple in a couple months and preventing users from installing random APKs This is the first I've heard of this, unless you're confusing this with the idea of them requiring developers to upload Android App Bundles instead of APKs to the store. Do you have a source?
- otrahuevada 5y agoCan Android App Bundles be installed unsigned? And are they not the official standard from here onwards?
- p_j_w 5y agoI don't have a very in-depth knowledge of Android App Bundles, but my impression was that the developer is that the developer uploads the AAB and Google generates an APK from it and delivers that to the user. From what I recall, there was never an announcement that sideloading APKs was going away.
