📣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...

...If you turn off developer options, then to turn off the advanced flow, you would first have to turn developer options back on.

@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

@CodingThunder @Aryan

My bank app already forces me to turn off developer options 🫠

@bacteriostat Mine too that's why I just went full on nuclear with internet banking :)

Anyways try installing Geto from F-Droid, should do the trick of hiding Dev options. Occassionally it used to bug out and reset the dev options so make sure you remember the tweaks you did just in case

@CodingThunder Yeah, I have used that app.

But on my new phone, I haven't needed developer options and it was nice because banking apps won't complain. Good that this android flow shitfuckery won't require the dev options to be permanently enabled.
