@neil pointed me to this: https://developer.android.com/developer-verificationThis will make alternative app stores like #fdroid mostly useless on #android devices with a stock rom, since most apps won't install at all, unless also available through the play store.Being the dev of the #floss #apps #TinyWeatherForecastGermany and #imagepipe, it is unlikely that the apps will be available for devices running a stock rom in the future, since I likely won't share my private keys with G****e nor will I give them a copy of my ID.

@neil To make it clear: obeying to the rules imposed by G****e for developer ids opens the doors for countless misuse scenarios and threats, including the handover of the developer's data (including their private app signing keys and a copy of their ID) to US authorities.As they will have your private keys and your ID, they can make any change to your app, breaking any thrust model. This is not acceptable.See https://developer.android.com/developer-verification .
