Google has announced that only apps from developers that have undergone verification can be installed on certified Android devices in 2026...

          What exactly is this product, though? Does it already exist?

                  If Google strips our phones of NewPipe, etc., then yeah, that’s gonna be a problem, haha.

          Graphene is still based on AOSP, they could probably have a workaround for that but the main issue I can see is small projects being leftover by their devs because the majority of there users runs a Google controlled Android and thus they will be forced to verify… Some will do it other probably won’t.

          I am concerned…

              Not from my understanding of the situation, Android Open Source Project (AOSP) is still Free, Open Source and living.

              What’s changing is that now with Android 16 and following, Google removed the Pixel device trees from the AOSP. But still according to them, they never considered AOSP providing device trees as a hardware requirement.

              Also according to GrapheneOS team Pixel 10 has much more significant hardware changes than the Pixel 6a through Pixel 9a.

                  Could you provide sources please? I think it’s “just” that the new commits aren’t public until the release is.
