They're not "pulling" the app from anywhere, it's just simply not going to work on "certified devices". This is the end of Android as we know. It's been a good run.
Only works for those of us who own a pixel or bought one for the reason but this won't effect Graphene users
Except it will, because developers aren't going to bother maintaining an app where the install base is just pixel users with Graphene
Yep. We'll be fine for a while but Google's seriously axing the platform for foss projects and security-minded users. In no more than half a decade I anticipate Android's open-source development scene will begin looking very similar to Apple's.
Why if it isn't on the app store the install base is already insanely small. People who sideload are not the majority.
It's going to affect 100% of Android users because no one is going to develop apps just for the 10 people using uncertified devices.
We're at least a dozen!
