Google is tightening security measures around Android app distribution, the company announced on Monday. Starting next year, Google will begin to verify the identities of developers distributing their apps outside the Play Store. This move aims to enhance the security and integrity of the app ecosystem by ensuring that app developers are held accountable for their creations.
The new verification process will require developers to submit government-issued identification and complete a two-step verification process. Google believes that these measures will deter malicious actors from distributing harmful apps and provide users with a more secure app experience.
