    Well, the issue will be developers of other apps would force us to re-google since any build of the app would be useless unless installed from the play store…

        Are they? Other comments in different PRs seem to indicate they have no intention of trying to subvert play integrity. Is there something more recent than this that indicates they’re trying?

        For every single app where the developer tries this?

        Yeah right. That’s unsustainable.

        They’ll also just increase ways for the integrity to verify it hasn’t been patched. This announcement already says they’re checking the app’s binary for tampering.
