Google is going to closed Android ecosystem

    Google's latest changes to its Advanced Protection Program - aside from a few exceptions, program participants will no longer be able to install third-party apps.

    Users will be able to install apps from third-party stores that shipped on the device, and some apps will be available through the developer tool Android Debug Bridge. Third-party apps that are on the device already will not be removed, and they'll still receive updates.

    For now it is not for everyone, just specific group.

    But something tells me that coronavirus will be quickly used to extend it to everyone with new Android version under big headline - "By installing third party software yourself you help spread viruses! Give Google his part of cake and sleep well!".

    Now it comes to normal Android - Android 11 will be made to make installing APK files as hard as possible.

    Now, after downloading the APK-file, the system simply asks the user for permission to install the application. But in Android 11 this process will be more complicated. Developers who began testing the early build of Android 11 found that after accepting the installation permission, the system forcibly closes the application that launched the APK installer. And to complete the installation, you have to start the whole process again after you have given permission to the system.

    Changing the process of installing applications from third-party sources has become part of the new Scoped Storage feature. They changed the file system operation scheme.

    Microsoft is doing same things in sync with Google, and society must respond in very harsh manner to all this, as this will end very bad.

    Rumors started to appear that smartphone companies will get almos 100% refund of certification expenses if they will disable ability to install third party APK files fully. Companies now look for ways to do it such way so they could control public damage. Feature can appear as soon as October this year.
