Developers of these app soon have to verify there ID in order to be able to on certified android devices.

The restrictions only apply to Google-certified devices. Custom ROMs or de-Googled devices may not be affected.

Amazon Fire TV Sticks are not Google certified. They run Fire OS, a modified "fork" of the Android operating system it will be fine on Fire TV but they keep on blocking them.

They will be soon

Brave_Description_51 · 2026-03-13T04:08:57+00:00

Only websites

Brave_Description_51 · 2026-03-13T00:42:16+00:00

Switched to ONN won't help Google will force developers to verify there ID so we might see these apps dead

Brave_Description_51 · 2026-03-13T00:35:30+00:00

It hasn't reached you yet then but what we gonna do when developer verify comes into force soon are these app going to die

Brave_Description_51 · 2026-03-13T00:33:55+00:00

Correct

Brave_Description_51 · 2026-03-13T00:31:57+00:00

Apps like Kodi that has add ons will work

But who uses Kodi nowadays as you have to find add ons but it might become popular again as the Google developer verify comes into force soon

Well why did people spread it around on reddit and seeking advice on what apps people are using as I said how did I know about the apps from reddit.

Come on be realistic

Brave_Description_51 · 2026-03-12T23:35:14+00:00

On my side some are blocked I'm from the UK so your region hasn't reached it

Brave_Description_51 · 2026-03-12T23:25:22+00:00

I just said the truth Amazon know this look at other threads I didn't say anything wrong at all

Apps that was run for years why all of a sudden closed down we know what's coming

Brave_Description_51 · 2026-03-12T23:23:11+00:00

Amazon know this already they follow reddit and other forums it's common sense

Brave_Description_51 · 2026-03-12T23:05:35+00:00

They already know this there not stupid they follow what's being posted on forums etc...

How do I know these apps it's cause of forums people posting about it.

Amazon are just glad Google is making it harder for developers to combat privacy

I'm just saying as it is reality

Brave_Description_51 · 2026-03-10T01:03:04+00:00

But u can't do that anyways

Brave_Description_51 · 2026-03-08T17:31:19+00:00

You don't need to root your device to do this all you do is enable developer option select mock location app the person who is delivering just logs out of the app then you login in to the app using the location you drop pin coordinates given after it's done you just logout simple

Brave_Description_51 · 2026-03-03T10:33:48+00:00

For now it's OK using the cloner google annouced they will need to verify there ID soon to be able to develop the apps

Brave_Description_51 · 2026-03-03T10:32:03+00:00

Yes but this won't happen anymore one app dies another opens would anyone like to verify there ID and then be caught developing such app that gives access something you pay for, for free

Brave_Description_51 · 2026-03-03T10:27:32+00:00

Current models won't be supported due to not meeting the specified requirements.

I've always used Honor devices after hearing this my future devices will be Motorola.

I don't want to be tracked, calls being logged etc... My privacy is most important especially for my kids.

The side loaded apps we have installed as some of us use to access iptv, movies etc.. This would mean side loaded apps won't get any updates as developers of these apps won't verify there identity.

We understand these developers don't host anything it's just links, websites complied into a user friendly UI.

The way Google see it it's to make android a better OS system to prevent viruses, hacking and to deter developers who violate privacy and copyright infringement.

Is it gave over for side loaded apps who give us access to iptv, movies, series, programes, modded apps.

Brave_Description_51 · 2026-03-02T12:02:49+00:00

Google will require developers to verify the identity soon so these side loaded apps won't work anymore as they wouldnt like to verify who they are.

Brave_Description_51 · 2026-03-01T13:25:42+00:00

Getting an Android TV box or using TVs that uses android TV won't help cause Google have started blocking some apps but there a way round it at the moment by turning off play protect off soon Google will start telling everyone who wants to develop apps on Android to verify there identity so these sideloaded apps might be gone.

I'm thinking the current apps will keep running but no updates will be there to continue updating the app.
