I urge all developers of #Android apps to NOT pre-emptively obey the new terms of #Google requiring you to sign up for the Android Developer Console.

It looks like Google is attempting a power grab and wants to prevent ALL installations of Android apps without official Google approval; even those installed outside Google Play.

This is an attack on both developer and user freedom and unacceptable.

Are switching to HarmonyOS or Linux phone + Waydroid good options? I never used Google Play, and chose to buy a new Android phone in China (so without Google) recently to avoid it and Snowden described sid effects, hoping for faster adoption of Linux phone ecosystem. I use Pinephone Pro and ARM64 based desktop computer to work on its improvement.
