The topic New \u2018Android Developer Verifier\u2019 app coming to phones as Google shares verification\u2026<\/strong> is currently the subject of lively discussion \u2014 readers and analysts are keeping a close eye on developments.<\/p>\n

This is taking place in a dynamic environment: companies\u2019 decisions and competitors\u2019 reactions can quickly change the picture.<\/p>\n

After detailing the \u201cadvanced flow\u201d for sideloading earlier this month, Google is opening the Android developer verification process to developers today.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n

Google today provided a more detailed timeline of what\u2019s to come:<\/p>\n

Starting today, Google is rolling out the actual Android developer verification process to all developers in both the Play Console and new Android Developer Console. The latter is for those who only distribute apps outside of the Google Play Store.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re on Google Play, check your\u00a0Play Console\u00a0account for updates over the next few weeks. If you\u2019ve already verified your identity here, then you\u2019re likely already set.<\/p>\n

Google previously told us that Play services will be leveraged to bring developer verification to all versions of Android. Starting in April, \u201cAndroid Developer Verifier\u201d will be installed on devices. This \u201cGoogle system service\u201d will be responsible for checking \u201cif an app is registered to a verified developer.\u201d It will presumably appear in Settings > Google services > All services > system services.<\/p>\n

In June, Google will start offering early access\/invites to limited distribution accounts for students and hobbyists that do not require a government ID. Apps on this account can be shared with up to 20 devices. You can sign up here.<\/p>\n

Limited distribution accounts will see a global launch in August, with the advanced sideloading flow also coming then.<\/p>\n

By the end of September, the end-user protections will go live in Brazil, Indonesia, Singapore, and Thailand.<\/p>\n

This is coming to the rest of the world in 2027, with no specific timeline just yet.<\/p>\n
