  • Android will still allow sideloading in future. They are making it harder, but compared to Apple (even in the EU), their new policies are still more open.

    For example, you will still be able to download an APK from github (as long as it is signed, which generally is the case when the app is available on google play) - but you can’t do this with an iPhone.

    Edit: Everyone is panicking because nobody knows Google’s next move. Maybe they will restrict which apps are allowed, maybe block some apps they don’t like (like unofficial youtube clients), or block sideloading completely in a future release.
