    Yeah I don’t know what they’ll block yet but I’m already assuming some of my apps will be blocked. It’s pretty terrible news. I really didn’t want to have to hunt down a phone that was compatible with alternative OS’s.

      From my understanding, it will only allow apps that were registered, so since ReVanced uses identical package names to the patched apps, it probably won’t work unless they start using ReVanced-specific package names that are tied to their identity. But that would allow Google to block these package names (or ban ReVanced completely) if say, Spotify or YouTube complain about them.

        … who owns YouTube?

        Yeah, they’re going to block ReVanced.
