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?

so your family's devices get their apps from outside the play store?

people are effectivly prevented from sideloading. not "just a little more complicated"

of course nana uses adb exclusively to install apps on her smartphone, after all this is a totally real story about user protection right?
