>But isn't Google saying that you will still be able to sideload via ADB?

No, it will not. Nothing will install an application without a Google approved signature on it. They will remove ad blocks from your Android and you will like it. "The beatings will continue until morale improves" sort of behavior.

I'm hopeful that the mystery OEM that GrapheneOS is targeting is in fact Sony Xperia. If it isn't, I'm just going to stop carrying a smartphone when all my installed apps stop working on it.

How do you interpret this then:

>> You will continue to be able to build and run an app even if your identity is not verified. Android Studio is unaffected because deployments performed with adb, which Android Studio uses behind the scenes to push builds to devices, is unaffected. You can continue to develop, debug, and test your app locally by deploying to both emulators and physical devices, just as you do now.

Isn't that the opposite of what you wrote? What am I missing?

I interpret that as you will be able to install an unverified app. And you will get the annoying unverified app screen every time you launch it. And it will very likely be crippled in other ways, as it is unverified.

Joke's on them. I'm not using ad-blocks, but have been training my neural network (non-AI) to ignore them.
