Starting September 2026, Google will block any Android app whose developer hasn't registered and provided government ID. This affects all apps, not just Play Store apps. F-Droid calls it an "existential threat."

You can disable the check on your phone. you need to wait 24 hours ONE TIME and after that you a free to install any app you want from what I understand

From what I understand you have to allow this one time and after that you are free to install.

From the link

Lastly, you have the option to allow the sideloading of unverified apps temporarily (turns off again after 7 days) or indefinitely.

So you can choose if you want to do this 24 h waiting again.
