Feature Description
Hello, as you probably know google announced enrolling mandatory developer verification for all installed apk (even those which are installed outside of playmarket). Practically rendering android as very unfree OS. In response to that emerged "Keep Android Open" initiative. If it resonates with you and your goals, please support it and spread the word.
Since you are alternative youtube frontend you won't be allowed at play store for 100% but with this new restriction there is a risk you won't be allowed to distribute your app at all even if you pay google so for you it is probably critical situation...
