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?
Never implied that at all. I was simply pointing out the hypocrisy of Android users who, for years, have died on the hill that their beloved platform of choice was a free and open alternative to Apple.
It isn’t and it never was.
Lol android fanboys are almost non existent, especially on this platform. Non cultists have pointed out that shit like this which has existed on Apple’s bullshit platform since day one sucks ass. Now that android has mirrored this particular shitty behavior, zero people are defending it and this entire thread is people very pissed about it. As far as the IsNt AnD nEvER WaS aspect, they did indeed hold off from this egregious move for what, 15 years?
The point that people have actually been making which you are railing against is that they didn’t do shit like this for years. This time 15… So exactly what do you think you’ve proven again?
