Google developer verification in LOS?
Hey, guys. How are we handling this? Goolag says that:
"April 2026: Users will start to see Android Developer Verifier in their Google Systems services settings.
June 2026: Early access: Limited distribution accounts for students and hobbyists. August 2026: Limited distribution accounts launch globally. Advanced flow for power users launches globally. September 30, 2026: Apps must be registered by verified developers in order to be installed and updated on certified Android devices in Brazil, Indonesia, Singapore, and Thailand. Unregistered apps can be sideloaded with ADB or advanced flow."
We're already past April, August is around the corner and September is right behind it.
This has been merged into LOS.

It says a bug fix but what is it? Do we have a strategy? Is dev verification in AOSP or in GAPPs?
