Does anyone here actually support Google’s Developer Verification?

I don’t. I’ve put a warning about it in my repo because I’m against policies like sideloading restrictions, forced ID verification.

Curious what other devs here think. Is Play Store still worth the hassle?

    How do you now that?

    Again, the ability to install a completely unverified APK is used in real, successful, attacks.

    The user DOES NOT KNOW WHAT HE IS DOING! That is the entire point!

    If users would know what this is and understand, maybe it would be less if a risk.

      I know because most people won’t even install an ad blocker. Let alone will they research apks, change system settings, and then install them. It being possible to be tricked into it is an entirely different topic. What are you high on man? I’m done here. What a waste of time.
