After the news cycle recently exploded with the announcement that Google would require every single Android app to be from a registered and verified developer, while killing third-party app stores …
They won’t fuck this up YET. If AppManager doesn’t currently use ADB to install APKs, it van be made to. So can any F-Droid or Aurora Store client.
However, I’d say that the odds that Google will stop at this certificate demand and will not eventually try to paywall ADB somehow are currently 0% in my estimation.
It’s high time someone created an independent fork of Android. Very soon, custom ROMs won’t be enough.
So, will an app like this

which uses (w)adb, be able to install apk as I currently do?
Or will they also fuck this up ?
