The way I understood it is you have to wait 24 hours every time, not just for activating dev options.

Edit: apparently I was mistaken.

The Google page I read was the opposite of that. The first time you unlock sideloading, they'll warn you and make you wait for a day. From then on it's unlocked.

While I hate Google with a passion, and don't trust them at all, this seems like a reasonable way to handle the issue of non tech people being coerced into sideloading unsavory apps by scammers.

Okay, if that's indeed the case, it's at ~~best~~ worst patronising, yes.

(This leaves of course the other, bigger issues of added hurdles to developers)

Edit: Worst is the word.
