Android Phones Will Soon No Longer Support Installation Of APK Files, See Why by dominzy(m): 7:14pm On Jun 14, 2020
The new version of Android will make life difficult for fans of installing applications bypassing Google Play. According to informed sources, with the release of Android 11, installing third-party apps will become much more difficult.

Developers who began testing the early build of Android 11 found that after accepting the installation permission, the system forcibly closes the application that launched the APK installer. And to complete the installation, you have to start the whole process again after you have given permission to the system.

Earlier, for those who are used to the process, when you download an APK from chrome, the system requires browser authorization for the installation of the file. Once granted from the Android settings, the user is redirected to the browser to continue the installation process.


Interestingly, in response to complaints from developers who took the new installation mechanism as a bug, Google said this was normal operating system behavior. They explain that when an application launches without this permission, it cannot write to some system directories and for normal operation. It is necessary to repeat the process and update to a view that allows writing to directories. Changing the process of installing applications from third-party sources has become part of the new Scoped Storage feature. They changed the file system operation scheme.

There is a chance that Google will mention this feature at the official release of Android 11. But it is a small change. The developers believe that the Internet giant will follow in the footsteps of Apple. They will make installation of applications from third-party sources as difficult as possible, putting Google Play as a priority

Google’s Developer team took to twitter to say about the cancellation of the event. The tweet says that the event scheduled on June 3rd stands canceled. This means the First Beta of Android 11 has to be under the wraps for a while.

Google has not specified any specific date of the rescheduled event. But it should be sometime in summer. However, we do not know why Google had to cancel the event. Reports say that it could be due to mass protests in the USA due to the death of George Floyd.

They should be ready to lose users. Because people will look for other alternatives and that will really affect them.

Huawei needed to be killed by all means and google suit is one way to get it killed. Huawei has find away around it and all chinese phone manufacturers are working together to create alternative suit which includes joint alternative app store. Realme, OPPO, IQOO, VIVO, ZTE and so many are already on baord, they are working together to even encourage developers to create ecosystem around that.

If they are successful in that, what do u think will be next?
The answer is open for all to see.
Google can't sit back and allow that to happen even though they are not happy with what Trump is diong, they know it will push other manufacturers to look for alternative but they will not make it easy for smooth ride for that alternative to take off, that alternative will not use andriod platform as a spring board.

The problem is how to encourage developers to support it, without apps the OS is dead on arrival.
Sun Tzu states that lay low and work hard until appointed time, that is what Huawei and chinese government are doing.

The plan is to create alternative app store which is already in existence, encourage developers to move on board and then migrate the system to the their own OS. All Chinese phone manufacturers are on board and it is joint work.
They pilot it with shareit app which is joint work btw BBK, Xiaomi, Huawei, Miezu, zte and others
Google is very smart to sniff that out and now they have indirectly join war they were originally against.

I hope its works out for them cos having to rival google would not be easy.


I read somewhere that they were about to launch their own OS called HarmonyOS, if its done then all is left is to get developers on board create some key important apps and they are good to go.
They part that will be tricky are apps owned by google, eg Google maps, youtube, etc.
It will be tricky.

There is already equivalent of google map called baidu, their is youtube and co equivalent in tencent etc the problem is that it is not a easy task to get developers on board, if it was that easy, windows mobile wouldn't have failed. Harmony OS will be successful in main land China and it is easier to get chinese developer on board since China already has equivalent or advance replica of western core apps. However it is of no use because Huawei has firmly secured Chinese market even without google suit so the battle is India, Europe and outside Chinese domain and google and Apple rules those places, they need a smartway to bring in developer in even though they v budgeted $1.5billion for that purpose, money alone can't get it done if not microsoft would have thrown triple of that out.

The solution is what they have done but google has moved in to checkmate them.

lets see the next move, my problem is it will take another 5 to 8months to get the clear picture of their next step.
