The new verification rules will be in effect in certain regions next year, before they are presented worldwide. 
Google increases safety measures on side applications by removing their identity to Android developers who are distributed outside the Play Store. Starting in September next year, Google will request developers in Brazil, Indonesia, Singapore and Thailand to check their identities in order to install their applications on Android devices accredited via direct downloads or third -party application stores. This demand will then be presented globally in “2027 and beyond”.
Under the new requirements, Android developers will need to provide Google with personal details such as their legal name, address, e -mail and phone number and they may need to download an official government identifier. Verification of identity is already a condition for Google Play, so this change mostly affects developers who only distribute their applications outside the Play Store.
“By making Android more safe, we protect the open environment that allows developers and users to create and connect with confidence,” Google said in its announcement. “Checking the new developer of Android is an additional layer of safety that responds to bad actors and makes it difficult for them to spread harm.”
This update aims to prevent users who install applications outside Google Play from falling into the victim to harmful programs and congestion, making it difficult for developers who make harmful applications to return under the new pseudonym when removed. Apple also provided Similar developer requirements The European Union App Store in February to comply with the Digital Services Law (DSA), which requires online platforms Check the “merchants” Those who distribute products and services to consumers in the European Union through their platform.
The Android developer is largely aimed at checking the commercial developers, where Google says it is “committed to maintaining the Android system an open platform” for developers for students and amateurs. Google creates a separate Android developer controller to facilitate this, which will place restrictions on the number of applications and installation.
Google invites developers Subscribe to early access To the new verification rules to help “present notes and help us form the experiment.” This may mean that some of the new requirements will change before it comes into effect, given that the initial start is more than a year away.
