Disgusting, horrifying, but utterly predictable. A dark day indeed, once no major mobile platform allows running whatever code you wish. Sideloading isn't really sideloading if the app has to be signed by the gatekeeper.

Isn't this a death knell for F-Droid, at least for running on most hardware? Since they require their own builds/attestation?

The Overton Window for computing keeps inching towards gatekeepers having total control over devices. I can't help but imagine myself lurching along on the last somewhat open hardware I can cobble together in a couple of decades, because I refuse to drink the verification can to continue...
