Google reveals Android sideloading solution

Google has introduced an "advanced flow" for installing certain Android apps, a concession to critics concerned about app sideloading. This new process will be mandatory for developers starting later this year, following Google's decision to require developer verification. The company faced backlash for potentially limiting Android's openness by restricting installations from unverified sources. The "advanced flow" is designed as a one-time setup, aiming to balance security requirements with user flexibility for app installations outside the main app store.
