WTF. Well, this absolutely does suck, but at least there's still the ability to side load apps, which iOS doesn't allow at all. But Jesus. What bullshit.

And restart your device. I suppose the good news is: "with the option to allow installs for seven days or indefinitely. Even within that seven-day time frame, once sideloading is enabled you can install as many different APKs from as many different unverified developers as you like"

It's a one-time 24-hour wait for the setting update, not a 24-hour wait every time a side load happens, to be clear.

The user has to say they aren't being coached. So if I'm walking a friend through installing on of my apps, I have to ask them to lie to get the first step done?

You do relize only 12% of all Android phones can even be developer unlocked? 88% cannot be unlocked, like at all, from step one.

Curious how this will work for developers themselves. 24 hours to install your own new code? Guess I'm disabling updates on my pixel 10 (OEM locked or it'd be graphene already).
