Publishing new on Aptoide now requires Google Identity Verification?

I checked the Aptoide documentation. My reading of it was that Google Identity Verification is only necessary to have your app continue to work on 'genuine devices'. My assumption is that after Sept 30th they'll have a genuine badge on the store and filter your app from genuine devices.

The Aptoide-Connect guide says this:

>'Register every package name you distribute so your apps stay installable on certified Android devices once verification is enforced for the stores and channels you use - see the rollout below.'

[...]

>What happens if I don't complete it?
Once verification is enforced for a given store, region, and channel, apps that are not registered by a verified developer can be blocked from being installed and updated on certified Android devices

The AptoideConnect APK submission form however suggests that its mandatory?

>Verify your Android developer identity
Required by Google for alternative distribution. Complete the verification steps to proceed.

Clicking the 'I Have Already Done It' button 403's without any visual feedback. For new app distributions is this crap already required now?

I will definitely contact support and update my post regarding this issue 'cuz I'm not wasting time filling out the entire form just for this to be a blocker. Hope this can help others choosing what app store they want to distribute on

I would be disappointed if a major 'alternative' appstore played ball with google

Anti-ALTO groups are organizing more protests in Eastern Ontario, Quebec

The groups behind the June 11th Alto capital hill protests are organizing two upcoming protests. One on August 28th between Belleville and Brockville, and anther one in Rigaud Quebec on September 19th.

I remember seeing the Capital Hill one and thought, had I known about it I'd have been out there supporting HSR instead. So I thought I'd let you all know about these!

There is of course the GO ALTO group which is organizing around supporting Alto and HSR. https://go-alto.ca/

I am messaging with the organizers to make some signs in support of HSR. The anti alto signs are simple, just a red x or line through ALTO, which is easily recognized. The GO ALTO organizer suggested simplified signs with something recognizable of our own. I was thinking something stupidly simple like GO ALTO or GO HSR

If you know of any resources or groups promising to promote Alto or high-speed rail in Canada, or ideas for the signs, let me know!

Grocery with the Helix

It's left side heavy when the handlebar is up so just simply hanging the basket on the right side stabilizes it.

It held bananas, tofu and several cans so it worked pretty good
