So google now requires Id verification for submitting apps to android, what does it mean for Foss apps, for Foss stores like fdroid and for future development?

      Yeah, but Google could make it so that development becomes really slow for such operating systems. Their ultimate goal is a slow death of FOSS phones-they don’t maintain AOSP out of the good of their hearts.

      I think with potentially lower userbase many foss developers might opt to get registered or stop supporting their apps.

        Or they continue because they do know to believe in a better world and refuse to bend to Google’s CorpoKnee.
