Google is locking down certificates in Android 14 which absolutely cannot be changed even by devs

Hopefully Firefox adds an easy way to add a certificate. They had it already, never understood why they removed it.

Google has put into place infrastructure to lock apps down as well with its App Bundles to replace APKs

I don’t think they can replace APKs with AABs as the only solution - EU wants them to have support for alternative stores. In theory they could do separate Android for EU and the rest of the world, but I don’t think they will.
