      not necessarily. the developer needs to sign the APK with a key issued by Google. the main issue here is that developers will be forced to identify themselves.

          im guessing the two possibilities are:

          1. the developer signs the apk with their developer key
          2. the user compiles an apk from the source code and signs it with their developer key

          someone correct me if im wrong
