Good job google. You just convinced our entire business to abandon our app (utilities company) and only target web. We are done with this shit. All our resources the next two weeks will be to fill in the gaps in our web clientzone so our thousands of customers can still buy electricity and pay water bill and have a similar experience than the app (it's 90% the same anyway).
Oh and my three personal apps that I installed via adb (not released on playstore) - the moment they stop working on my phone or hassle me about verification, I will get in my car and go buy an iPhone.
Next will be to degoogle the rest of my life, which is luckily only gmail. Guess how long it will take me to port out? Less than two days.
I only let companies violate me once. Then I'm out.
Play store is the biggest piece of trash malware system that exists today, but us normal businesses have to pull teeth and spend days jumping through hoops to get an app out, but the playstore is filled with infinite garbage that rot childrens brains.
Wake up.
