    These apps are still required to comply with Google Play’s existing policies but allow users to experiment more directly with building apps for Android.

    Gawd, I hate this timeline.

    Google blocks/cripples the ability to “sideload” apps, but I’m free to have AI generate some slop app, as long as it fits with Googles vision of what I’m allowed to do with my device and I’m not allowed to share it.

    Good times /s

    maybe i missed it but i don’t see a requirement on the apps being vibe coded. sure they are marketing it as that but the end result is a binary either way. if this really is for any app and not reliant on a built-in ai then this is kind of cool. especially as they say you will be abke to.share it with friends/family in the future

    to be clear - free sideloading is the best solution.

      Its installing apps on the device you own. Don’t fall for the terminology being used by those taking away your freedom.
