Summary
Google has announced that Android developer verification will take effect on September 30, 2026, starting with users in Brazil, Indonesia, Singapore, and Thailand. Developers distributing apps through participating stores in those markets must complete verification by the deadline. Stores including Google Play, HONOR App Market, OPPO App Market, Galaxy Store, Palm Store, V-Appstore, and GetApps will begin verifying app installations, with global expansion to certified Android devices planned for 2027. The initiative, introduced last year, aims to enhance security by requiring developers to verify their identity before distributing apps.
