  • Not necessarily - I use Aurora store (without Google login) to install apps, and now apps have a method of validating which store installed them. Which is dogshit since it’s the same APK running on my device. Said apps can now block usage if they detect they have not been installed using “approved methods” which is my take on OP’s post.

    For apps I install with F-droid or Obtainium, this is usually not an issue since those apps don’t enforce stupid rules.

    Edit: I should point out that this is 100% related to Google’s upcoming (hopefully not…) enforcement of “no third party app installations” - this is the exact method they will use to block access to these applications.
