For what it's worth, the Briar team is planning to register a few placeholder apps with signing keys that we can use for publishing future apps beyond the deadline. Might be worthwhile for Guardian to do the same?

Cheers,

Hey Nathan,


Here are the links!


Since this feature has been around since 2018, and its being forced to
be a default for new apps, I'm concerned that it'll become the default
for all apps soon :/

Hey, Amogh!

I didn't see the links in your email. Can you send again?

Otherwise, yeah, that is a huge bummer, if so.

Hey everyone,


Android App Bundles [0] seem to be a requirement for all *new apps*
starting August 2021 [1].

The blog post doesn't explicitly point it out but this would mean all
APKs would be generated and signed by Google Play.

I can see this being a problem for Guardian Project and other
organizations like Tor, is there a discussion on this that I'm missing?


Hope everyone is staying safe!


Best,

Amogh
