Does anyone here actually support Google's Developer Verification?

I don’t. I’ve put a warning about it in my repo because I’m against policies like sideloading restrictions, forced ID verification.

Curious what other devs here think. Is Play Store still worth the hassle?

Are there any relevant/common reason to keep an app closed source if its NOT for profit?

[–] Little1Lost@gehirneimer.de 1 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

maybe preference or skill issue. so not really, no

I am not so much into programming, but what extra skill is required to add a license and make the repo public? Maybe if you have a closed source dependency and would need to replace it, then it would be a skill issue.
