Starting in August, installing APKs from unverified developers will require a new procedure called Advanced Flow. It involves enabling developer mode, rebooting the device, and waiting 24 hours with biometric verification.

After that, you choose: allow the APK installation for 7 days or indefinitely. The procedure is a one-time process and applies to all versions of Android.

Will the 24-hour wait stop you from installing APKs outside the store?

    Do they require waiting times after you attached a flashlight or switched to a bigger magazine, though?

    Because that is what Google is doing here - enacting limitations / hurdles for phones that were already sold.
