How is this going to be enforced if you are just downloading apks? It states they will enforce verification across sources outside of the play store. This doesn’t sound possible unless they just make stock android unable to side load

Why do we even call it “sideloading”? I can install whatever I want on desktop, even whatever OS, so why not my phone? It is my phone, right?
I do not call it side-loading. Two of my tablets don’t have any Google on it. The phone is running Play Services in a sandbox, as one of several options to get software.
I’m not really understanding. I buy a phone. Peter codes and app with foss tools and emails it to me. No copyright or anything bad like a to do app. I want to use said app on my purchased phone. Now Peter will have to show his license and stuff? I guess developers are criminals.

That’s the thing, downloading from another source is not opposed to downloading from the official store. It’s the same thing - downloading an executable and installing it on your device - with a different UX and warning screens.
