Android opens enrollment for program that brings one-tap sideloading for app stores
Google’s Epic-fueled app store plan starts enrollment.
Android has opened enrollment for a new program that will bring one-tap sideloading for app stores, according to a recent report. Third-party Android app stores can now participate in the Registered App Stores program, which will launch on December 1. Enrolling in the program is optional for developers, but those who do will benefit from a new streamlined installation flow.
Stores that choose not to enroll will not experience any changes to their current installation flow. The program is available for devices running Android 17 QPR2 and later, and is currently only accessible to users outside of the United States.
