Accrescent and Android Developer Verification

Google recently announced that starting next year, Android will require all apps to be registered by verified developers for users to install them on their devices, i.e., all apps must be registered by a developer who has performed identity verification with Google or else they won’t be installable on certified Android devices. While users have asked us about this new requirement (specifically about how it affects Accrescent), we have been waiting to provide an official response until more information became available. Now, although we are still waiting on Google to provide more details on how the program will work in the context of third-party app stores, we have enough information to explain how it will affect Accrescent and how we are responding to the change.
