As announced a couple of weeks ago, power users always have an option to enable sideloading of unregistered APK files through an advanced flow that requires an authentication step to confirm they are taking this step of their own volition and a one-off, 24-hour waiting period to deter scammers.

Sure. That’s the reason why they’re introducing a 24-hour delay. Not because they want to make it miserable so people stop side loading.

      I remain as lost as I was.

      The only differences I noticed are the ones google is forcing through with their new “advanced flow”, but that does not constitute a “functional difference”.

        LOL you are grasping at straws so hard and I don’t know why. Of course it’s functionally different. I don’t know how you could possibly assemble an argument otherwise.

          For something so apparently obvious you sure seem reluctant to put it to text.

          Thus far I have given you the benefit of doubt, but you have yet to come with a real argument.

          I cannot, nor will I argue against what I have to imagine your opinion to be. Either say what you mean or say nothing at all. Until then your point is moot.

            It’s already in the text in the OP. If you can’t read it or refuse to acknowledge it, me rewriting it is not going to help you.

              Clearly we are reading different articles in that case, or I must’ve really missed the bit you’re so staunchly referring to.
              Or maybe you can, I dunno, quote whatever bit of text you’re so staunchly referring to?
