Does anyone here actually support Google's Developer Verification?

I don’t. I’ve put a warning about it in my repo because I’m against policies like sideloading restrictions, forced ID verification.

Curious what other devs here think. Is Play Store still worth the hassle?

Most scam apps are in the Google Play Store btw

maybe because it was to easy to upload to the googleplay store. Maybe there should be some kind of verification of the person uploading. How could this be accomplished?

Joking aside I don't think side loading should be encoumbered like this, but for the official app store it makes sense.

If their IA was so great, they would use it to curate the mess that is their app store...
