Android app verification rolls out in September with new store partners

Google will begin deploying its Android developer verification in September, starting in Brazil, Indonesia, Singapore and Thailand. The system will block installation of unverified apps on Google-certified devices and extend verification to trusted third-party stores such as HONOR App Market, OPlus (OPPO App Market), Samsung Galaxy Store, Palm Store, vivo's V-Appstore and Xiaomi GetApps. New APIs—the Android Developer ID Status API and the Android Developer Console API—will let developers register and manage packages from their IDEs. A July rollout will introduce limited-distribution accounts for hobbyists (no fee, up to 20 devices); August adds the advanced flow to bypass verification (with multiple confirmations and a 24-hour wait); September expands verification to the initial markets, with plans to broaden globally in 2027.
