Correct. It’ll be a new bunch of new steps, and would be forced to wait 24 hours to do the actual install, but otherwise sideloading unverified apps will still be possible through the advanced flow steps. So Jerboa and/or other apps from unverified accounts can still be installed. I do wonder how that affects the other app repos like F-Droid, like I guess F-Droid would need to be aware that the new advanced flow steps are active when attempting to do app installs.
From https://android-developers.googleblog.com/2026/03/android-developer-verification.html
- Enable developer mode in system settings: Activating this is simple. This prevents accidental triggers or “one-tap” bypasses often used in high-pressure scams.
- Confirm you aren’t being coached: There is a quick check to make sure that no one is talking you into turning off your security. While power users know how to vet apps, scammers often pressure victims into disabling protections.
- Restart your phone and reauthenticate: This cuts off any remote access or active phone calls a scammer might be using to watch what you’re doing.
- Come back after the protective waiting period and verify: There is a one-time, one-day wait and then you can confirm that this is really you who’s making this change with our biometric authentication (fingerprint or face unlock) or device PIN. Scammers rely on manufactured urgency, so this breaks their spell and gives you time to think.
- Install apps: Once you confirm you understand the risks, you’re all set to install apps from unverified developers, with the option of enabling for 7 days or indefinitely. For safety, you’ll still see a warning that the app is from an unverified developer, but you can just tap “Install Anyway.”
But I guess if you’re in a rush and don’t want to go through all that then you could probably still install apps via ADB.


You can use lemmyverse to browse around, there are at least a few communities that exist. e.g.

etc.
I’m a bit curious about people’s setups for self hosting LLMs so sometimes I browse [email protected] for example.
