To be honest, im more than Tired of this whole “Mimimi, Google is restricting installing Android apps, so its worse than iOS now Mimimi”
So heres 4 Options, how to Opt out of Gservices, and therefore not have this whole Debacle of Verified Apps, in varying degrees of Difficuilty from “3 Year old iPad kid can do this” (Aka install Via Browser) to “You have to Copy 3 Text snippets and Paste them”, to even “Order Online”.
And before everyone starts Crying, there are more than Enough Apps and Alternatives to the Propriatery stuff youve been using until now. No, you dont need a Burgerking App, no, you dont need an App for Kaufland. They are Selling your Data, and thats the only reason they Exist. If you consent with having your Data sold, you have no reason to opt out of Gapps anyway.

Google is making android require a signed key from Google to install apps. I’m probably not explaining properly, but it will stop people side loading unsigned apps
You can aa shit bet that new pipe and smart tube aren’t getting a key
Will this be mandatory or can one turn it off say in developer options?
Nope. Mandatory. You can’t disable it. The only way you can get around it is to use a rom that doesn’t have Google play services on it. But with Google tightening their grip on android, even that may not be around much longer
