Google today published an update on Android developer verification, which is set for its initial launch later this year and will continue into 2027.
Since the registration process launched in March, Google says millions of apps have been verified. This includes “nearly all installs on Google Play and a large majority of installs from outside of Google Play.”
Starting September 30, users in Brazil, Indonesia, Singapore, and Thailand will see the developer verification protections, which will block installs from unknown developers to combat malicious actors. Google will “begin by verifying app installations from the following stores.”
