You mentioned surveillance -- I presumed you were talking about the ID requirement. This only applies if you're using Google's computers to push out your app.

If you sideload... what "surveillance" are you talking about?

> They've now decided you can't sideload until tomorrow

A single 24 hour waiting period, only the first time. Or just use ADB. The point is to prevent false-urgency scams. Honestly even this seems to me to be pretty weak.

Can you think of a single better option that has any efficacy at all?

If they're not surveilling what apps are being sideloaded, why is the bypass managed by google play services? There are at least 2 better options: - An option to not install the update which would fuck with my device - An option to use the OS layer instead of google play services for this fuckery. i disable gplay services the moment I get my hands on a new phone.

		Because they're syncing the override flag to your next device so you don't have to do the waiting window ever again after the first time
