After the news cycle recently exploded with the announcement that Google would require every single Android app to be from a registered and verified developer, while killing third-party app stores …
Termux is already available on the Play Store, so I imagine it won’t be an issue. Sideloading will still be possible, it just requires developers give Google their private information (which is fucking stupid) but you already have to do that to be on the Play Store, so I don’t see why Google wouldn’t verify the Termux team.
Yeah I really hope they wont ask termux packages or apps installed through termux to also be verified. Termux is on the play store but it’s not the real version. Termux devs have the actual version sideloaded.

look at it from the pessimist’s point of view, they could have killed side loading too!
