No one would have an issue with them making this demand of Play Playstore Devs. This demand is being made to every dev of EVERY APP. That includes stores that google has absolutely no control. That means that I no longer have the right to take my own risks and to trust who I want to trust.
They should absolutely make this a requirement to join their store. Id support that. They have no right taking away or limiting my ability to install applications on a device I own
No I rightly don't care wrote it if I can see the source code and verify where all my data is.
If you want to know where where your apps come from then Id suggest you stop downloading from the playstore and start downloading from the sources. Get connected with the community. Learn something. It'll be good for you
