You will have to wait 24 hours (!!!) to sideload an app on Android in the future.

Android's new sideloading rules are here, and they come with a 24-hour lock!

Google is fundamentally changing how sideloading works on Android, especially for apps from unverified developers. Here's are the new rules.

WTF. Well, this absolutely does suck, but at least there's still the ability to side load apps, which iOS doesn't allow at all. But Jesus. What bullshit.

It's a one-time 24-hour wait for the setting update, not a 24-hour wait every time a side load happens, to be clear.

@final [GrapheneOS] 📱👁️‍🗨️ could you confirm #GrapheneOS will remove the sideloading restrictions set in AOSP?

You do relize only 12% of all Android phones can even be developer unlocked? 88% cannot be unlocked, like at all, from step one.

Don't get cocky itoddler 👶 forks are a great thing 🍾 and new code 💾 that does this is easily removable 🧽 from a fork.

We're yet to see this implemented in AOSP. We won't be adding sideloading restrictions.
