📣Important clarifications on the new advanced flow for sideloading on Android!
1) It is a one-time process. Once you go through it, you can choose to allow installing unregistered apps indefinitely.
2) ADB installs are not affected. The waiting period does not apply to app installs via ADB.
3) It's my understanding that you don't have to keep developer options enabled after you enable the advanced flow. Once you make the change on your device, it's enabled...
@Aryan Wait till they make this option available to "trusted" apps on play store via a API and they force you to turn this off becoz sEcuRiTty
I am honestly already annoyed by a lot of bank apps doing this, to the point that I have got rid of all of those crap and now I do most of my banking via my browser
@Aryan Might be not sure, I haven't looked into it. But there are bank apps that refuse to open if certain apps are installed. I am not getting the link to the Reddit thread someone posted about it a few months ago. But Google already allows apps to query for installed apps, as well as look for developer options flag for apps, so won't be surprised if they allowed apps to also query if sideloading is enabled.
(Take this as a mountain of salt)
