I have just heard a rumor that Google is planning to entirely ban the installation of apps from unknown source. If this is real, does it mean many app sites like apkpuree or apktovi will have to close?

Please let me know your idea, thanks!

Where did you hear it?

Yep I'm curious too as to where you heard that from. I haven't heard anything about that either.... doesn't mean it's not true though lol. Google put that option into Android because of the huge demand for it.... they would take a TON of backlash if they removed it :O

I'll consider this rumor with as many grains of salt as the account that posted it has posts (2 as of this writing). Not even the big sea salt chunks, regular table salt. I'd like to see a link to a REPUTABLE site reporting this...

I'm highly skeptical as well. It would basically kill the developer community, who rely on this to test their apps out before releasing to the Play store.
