"Google is requiring app developers who distribute apps outside of Google Play to create an account in the Android Developer Console to confirm their identity. Those who distribute apps through Android's official app marketplace and have verified their identity may be 'already set.'"
"'For the vast majority of users, the experience of installing apps will stay exactly the same,' Matthew Forsythe said. 'It's only when a user tries to install an unregistered app that they'll require ADB or advanced flow, helping us keep the broader community safe while preserving the flexibility for our power users.'"
"'This flow is a one-time process for power users - but it was designed carefully to prevent those in the midst of a scam attempt.'"
Google is implementing Android developer verification to enhance app safety by requiring developers distributing apps outside Google Play to confirm their identity. This verification will begin in Brazil, Indonesia, Singapore, and Thailand in September, with a global rollout planned for next year. Users installing apps will have a consistent experience, with additional steps only for unregistered apps. Developers can check their app's registration status in Android Studio, and those who meet verification requirements will have their apps automatically registered.
