谷歌宣布从2027年起实施新的Android应用管理政策,所有应用开发者必须向Google中央注册、支付费用、同意服务条款、提交政府身份证明并提供签名密钥证据1。未能完成注册的开发者的应用将被Google Play Services静默封禁,这一封禁将在全球范围内生效且无法绕过1。
该政策遭到广泛反对。F-Droid等替代应用商店表示面临"存在危机",将无法继续运营1。谷歌声称此举出于"安全"考量,但批评人士指出Google Play Protect已能独立扫描恶意软件,强制提交政府身份证明并不能使代码更安全,只会使开发者可被识别和控制1。同时,Google提供的侧载流程包含9个步骤、24小时强制冷静期和多次警告界面,完全由Google Play Services控制,可随时更改或撤销1。
超过10万名用户在change.org请愿书上签名反对该政策,来自23个国家的71个组织也发布公开信表示反对1。欧洲议员Christel Schaldemose已正式质询该政策是否符合《数字市场法》1。
Google has announced a sweeping policy requiring all Android app developers to register centrally with the company, pay fees, agree to terms of service, and submit government-issued identification beginning in 2027 1. Applications from developers who fail to comply will be silently blocked globally on all Android devices through Google Play Services, with no mechanism to bypass the restriction 1.
The registration process aims to address security concerns, according to Google 1. However, the company's implementation includes a deliberately friction-laden sideloading procedure consisting of nine steps, a mandatory 24-hour cooling-off period, and multiple warning screens—all controlled entirely by Google Play Services and subject to change or revocation at any time 1. Critics argue that requiring government identification does not enhance code security but rather creates a mechanism to identify and control developers 1.
The policy has triggered widespread opposition. F-Droid, an alternative app store for open-source applications, has warned that the platform faces an "existential crisis" and may be forced to cease operations 1. More than 100,000 users have signed a petition on change.org opposing the measure, and 71 organizations from 23 countries have issued an open letter against it 1. Additionally, European Parliament member Christel Schaldemose has formally questioned whether the policy complies with the Digital Markets Act 1.
