Google is rolling out Android developer verification beginning September 30, 2026 in Brazil, Indonesia, Singapore, and Thailand, with expansion to certified Android devices globally in 2027. The announcement covers new APIs (Android Developer ID Status API and Android Developer Console API) to streamline app registration, a system service for verification, limited distribution developer accounts for learners, and an advanced sideloading flow for unverified developers; certified devices will block installs/updates of unregistered apps except via adb or the advanced flow.
