    From https://keepandroidopen.org/ In August 2025, Google announced ↗ that as of September 2026, it will no longer be possible to develop apps for the Android platform without first registering centrally with Google. This registration will involve:

    • Paying a fee to Google
    • Agreeing to Google’s Terms and Conditions
    • Providing government identification
    • Uploading evidence of the developer’s private signing key
    • Listing all current and future application identifiers
