Apps installed from alternative stores (using APIs made for those) aren't subject to those restrictions - it's written in the article.
It's explicilty restricted only to apps that don't use the new "app store" APIs in Android.

- wkat4242 3y agoAurora isn't an official third party store. There isn't much chance that Google will whitelist it because it's a privacy alternative for the play store itself. Google has been all over it trying to block it so I doubt it will select it as an exception.
- izacus 3y agoWhat do you mean "official third party store"? There's no such thing. It's an OS level API where store needs to register itself as a store unrelated to Google (it's an AOSP concept).
- Sakos 3y agoRead the article. There's an explicit white-list for being exempt from this new restriction and only "trusted installers" will be on it. Clearly the Play Store will be exempt, but we have no idea what will be put on the white list according to what criteria. As pointed out in the article's conclusion.
- RobotToaster 3y ago> Apps installed from alternative stores (using APIs made for those) aren't subject to those restrictions These restrictions already exist for in call audio accessibility APIs. At least one call recorder app has gone as far as making their own app store to bypass these restrictions.
