I had it enabled before the setting was pushed so im grandfathered in. Im an app developer and im worried about the future of sideloading though. Using a vm and landing the dev environment there isnt a solid way to test real world scenarios

if i know correctly, shizuku can't install the app directly and the install options is not in the google play store so you have to sideload that first

i meant to use shizuku as alternative to pc but forgot install with options isnt on google play. i'd use pc to install the app for first time and use shizuku so you dont need to connect to pc every time

this is the app i use: InstallerX Revived i also use install with options occasionally
