Looking for a Jerboa alternative that wont be affected by the non-anonymous Google dev bullshit. I cant hop over to graphene or any other OS for that matter for reasons I wont get into. Getting my shit up and running on Jerboa was a hassle so Id like to figure out which lemmy apps will be viable for the future on basic boy androidOS.

Edit: added the app alert this morning as an image

    Yes, but: if you use the app, they now feature a dialog telling you that Google forces developers to register and send over personal data for their identification. The jerboa devs say they won’t do it, so it’s just a matter of time until the app gets pulled from the play store by Google.

      For accuracy, it will stay on the store. Devices that are “certified” will be unable to find it on the store or install it via the store.

      As a result I think the devs will stop pushing it there, but it will still be there for devices that Google isn’t worried about.

        Devices that are “certified” will be unable to find it on the store or install it via the store.

        I’m a bit confused on how that’s supposed to be the case. All apps on the play store already have to be signed with developer credentials. This won’t change with the new requirements, those impact apps outside the play store. I don’t think it’s possible to push “uncertified” apps onto Google Play. So what am I missing here?
