A one day wait period to install an app on your mobile pocket computer. Fucken bullshit.

It appears that the “security wait” will be a one time thing when you first allow installing from unverified sources. After enabling it it will remain on indefiniately.

Not quite as bad as I was fearing, but will kinda annoying.

Until you have to help someone install an app not available to them.

Xfinity stream for example is not on the Chromecast play store, even though an Android build exists on the Fire TV store. I had to guide my dad through this. In this case it wouldn’t be possible for 24 hours.

Had a similar issue with an app not available in a friend’s region.

I could live with the whole flow minus the delay. This is shit, just pure shit.
