Google will require all apps on the Play Store to be from verified developers to be installed on certified Android devices starting September 2026. All apps on certified Android devices must be registered by verified developers. The new rule aims to add extra security and stop the spread of harmful apps. In a post, Google said, “Android's new developer verification is an extra layer of security that deters bad actors and makes it harder for them to spread harm.” Developers will be required to complete two steps to get verified. They should verify their identity by providing their legal name, address, phone number, email, and in some cases, government ID. Organisations will also need to submit a D-U-N-S number and verify their website. Google said, “You'll need to prove you own your apps by providing your app package name and app signing keys.” Apple Assembly Partner Foxconn Recalls 300 Chinese Engineers From India, Replaces Them With Taiwanese Staff: Report.
