Do you have to go through this procedure for every APK or just once?
If it's for every side loaded app, does this include updates of already installed APKs?
That would make the system actual more insecure
As far as I understand, this is done for every application installed. Every time. And it seems that the certificates are not unlimited and they will have to be renewed.
A similar system is already present on iOS.
Wanna give a source for that? Everything I read said that after the 24 hour scare screen, you could optionally enable third party installation permanently. Literally nothing about certificates expiring. Where are you even getting this from?
That's what I'm actually afraid of
Hopefully Linux can soon step up and fill the gap.
On a site note:
I've pre-ordered the new jolla phone in hopes to have pretty much a Linux phone with Android app compatibility layer.
But since my pre-order I haven't heard anything about it anymore and I can't find a blog/news page providing any information about progress or something.
Maybe people in this thread are similarly inclined to Linux phones and have a link for me...?
I've already sent a mail to Jolla about that - but just today...
If it's like existing hurdles, once, like enabling developer mode. I don't think updates or subsequent apps will require more hoops.
I don't think so either, but at the current level off stupidity all around, I would like to have something at face value
