With recent news of Android closing up the support for installing apps from third-party sources - I also dug up one interesting thing - ADB installations do NOT require identification, and essentially - work like installations usually do on Android without Dev verification, so, with Dev verification rolling out - are we entering a world where F-droid will exist as separate app on PC - which utilizes ADB to install, and update our apps? (BTW, it was Google who stated that ADB is not going to verify any installation, essentially - leaving a loop-hole for devices even if they are verified, at least, that is what they stated)
