Can someone clarify: according to Murena’s website, they use /e/OS, which is what they call “degoogled” Android. I would assume degoogled means no Play Store. If that’s the case, what’s going to happen next year, when Google starts blocking installing .apks by unverified developers? Which, I’m assuming, is a good chunk of developers who have apps on F-Droid.
Presumably google is going to block app installation via a google service. If you do not have google services in your phone there’s nothing to block you.
This is exactly what you want, because using a degoogled phone won’t be affected by this change.
It won’t directly affect them because they will not be “Google Certified” devices.
No worries Google’s actions against installing apks from outside the Play Store will only influence Android, not any of the other operating systems that are based on the Android Open Source Project (AOSP)
Indeed, by default AFAICT they provide
Aurora Store and F-DroidApp Lounge (edited: was a little while so I forgot, I install F-Droid on every Android device I have as a reflex).Regarding the consequence… well I don’t know the future. Maybe alternative stores will have a “trick” so that they are considered verified and thus can install other
.apk, or maybe it won’t matter for rooted phones anyway.e came with App Lounge as their Store last time I installed it, but I got Aurora and F-Droid immediately for redundancy.
I don’t remember exactly so you are probably right, editing my comment.
I think custom android ROMs like /e/os will disable this new “verified developers” check, so no peoblem?
