One of my subscribers sent me this on WhatsApp, and I was honestly surprised.
Google is launching a new Android Developer Console for developers who distribute apps outside the Play Store.
Starting September 2026, any app that runs on certified Android devices (even sideloaded) will need to be tied to a verified developer account. On the surface, this looks like a “security” move — but if you think deeper, it’s basically Google extending Play Console–style control to the entire Android ecosystem.
👉 Verification steps:
Provide full legal identity (name, address, phone, ID).
Organizations must provide a D-U-N-S number + website verification.
Prove ownership of every app (package name + signing keys).
Timeline highlights:
Oct 2025 → Early access opens.
Mar 2026 → Verification opens to all developers.
Sep 2026 → Requirement enforced in Brazil, Indonesia, Singapore, Thailand.
2027+ → Global rollout.
Yes, Google frames it as “security,” but it’s also a way to put a leash on sideloading — one of Android’s last big freedoms. If every developer has to verify through Google, then in practice, Google becomes the gatekeeper of the entire Android app ecosystem, not just Play Store.

What do you think?
Genuine step to reduce malware?
Or just Google tightening control over Android’s open ecosystem under the label of “safety”?

Apparently Google has changed the flow since this was answered.
I had to: 1) Go to this page via App Settings > Additional Google Services https://admin.google.com/AdminHome#AppsList:serviceType=ADDITIONAL
2) Look for the "Develop applications using Google APIs and the Google Cloud Platform" setting
3) Click the vertical ... in the right hand corner of the row and select "ON for everyone"
Make sure you are logged in with the Admin account for your domain. If you are redirected to "https://apps.google.com/user/hub" then you are not an admin.
