Guys this is huge

ID/age verification for apps is being built so only google signed and integrity verified apps can run, that would prevent any age verified apps running on non-official android OS like graphene.

This will have to change when apps are coming from any random app store and can no longer use these google attestation services

From the article:

developers can opt out if they don't want their apps to be available more widely

So it won't affect that.
