Google will block sideloading of unverified Android apps starting next year
Google says it’s no different than checking IDs at the airport.Ryan Whitwam (Ars Technica)
GrapheneOS doesn't include Google Mobile Services and the requirements for certification aren't relevant to us. We don't follow the Android Compatibility Definition Document rules and only care about passing the subset of the Android Compatibility Test Suite and other Android test suites which make sense for us. We implement lots of disallowed features and work on making sure those don't break apps or if they do break some apps that it's easy to work around it for users.
