Google plans to exempt sanctioned nations from Android developer verification
摘要
谷歌即将推出的安卓开发者验证系统将影响所有使用谷歌服务的安卓设备，未验证开发者将无法安装应用。针对受美国制裁国家（如伊朗、古巴、朝鲜及乌克兰被占领地区）的开发者，谷歌在FAQ中给出了模糊回应，未明确其处理方式。该公司称该政策不损害平台开放性，但制裁名单可能随美国外交政策变化，相关开发者处境仍不明朗。
We are a month away from the initial rollout of Google's Android developer verification system, and the company contends this policy does not impinge on the platform's open nature. Still, the restrictions will be a big change, and there are still some unanswered questions. An issue that has come up repeatedly in the run-up to verification is what will happen to devs who can't verify because of where they live. It turns out that Google has a cryptic answer for that buried in an FAQ.
Developer verification will soon block the installation of apps from unverified developers on any Android device running Google services, which is functionally all Android phones outside Russia and China. Developers who want to keep releasing software, even if it's not in the Play Store, have to provide Google with their ID and pay a small fee.
But what if you're an Android developer living in a sanctioned nation? Currently, the US sanction list includes Iran, Cuba, North Korea, and occupied areas of Ukraine. Given the current uncertain state of US foreign policy, that list could change in the future. Google doing any business with developers in those places is a thorny issue, and it seems like the company has decided to just leave them hanging.
