That’s actually a really interesting question.
I understand that Apple takes issue with packages that can themselves “take packages”. But historically, I don’t believe that Google has. Of course, Google also hasn’t done the registration thing historically, either.

Termux is already available on the Play Store, so I imagine it won’t be an issue. Sideloading will still be possible, it just requires developer’s give Google their private information (which is fucking stupid) but you already have to do that to be on the Play Store, so I don’t see why Google wouldn’t verify the Termux team.

Yeah I really hope they wont ask termux packages or apps installed through termux to also be verified.

look at it from the pessimists point of view, they could have killed sideloading too!
