Your phone is about to stop being yours. In September 2026, Google will block every Android app whose developer hasn't registered with them.

O registro obrigatório de desenvolvedores que o Google está impondo ao Android levanta preocupações para desenvolvedores em países sancionados, colaboradores anônimos de código aberto e qualquer um que construa ferramentas de privacidade ou segurança. O Google tem um histórico documentado de ceder a demandas governamentais para remover aplicativos. @keepandroidopen #KeepAndroidOpen https://keepandroidopen.org/pt-BR/

F-Droid, home to thousands of free and open-source Android apps, calls Google's developer verification an "existential threat." An estimated 85% of F-Droid apps could face distribution issues because their developers signed through F-Droid, not through Google. @keepandroidopen #KeepAndroidOpen https://keepandroidopen.org/fi/

Google's proposed workaround for sideloading unverified apps requires 9 steps, a mandatory 24-hour waiting period, and is delivered through Google Play Services, not the Android OS. Google can modify or remove it at any time without user consent. It hasn't shipped in any beta. @keepandroidopen #KeepAndroidOpen https://keepandroidopen.org

Starting September 2026, Google will require every Android app developer to register centrally, provide government ID, and submit signing key evidence. Apps from unregistered developers will be blocked on all certified devices worldwide. This threatens F-Droid, open-source distribution, and user autonomy. @keepandroidopen #KeepAndroidOpen https://keepandroidopen.org
