Will just F-Droid have to do this or any app developer? If it’s the latter, I guess might as well go with an unofficial OS…

If the phone ships with Play Store, Play Services, and other Google Mobile Services (GMS) apps the requirement will be enforced, it doesn’t matter which source you use to get your apps. They claim to provide an exception for “student projects”, but per their post, it’s yet to be created.

Welp I guess Android and iOS are becoming more alike. Just not in the direction I’d have liked.
