去他妈的 Android 开发者验证计划
Fuck Android Developer Verification Program

一名业余 Android 开发者表示,Google 因其长期不活跃而关闭了他的个人 Play 商店账户,原因是他已经放弃了一款游戏项目。后来,他又开发了另一款应用,但既无法恢复原账户,也无法创建新的 Play Console 账户。他还以为可以通过 F-Droid 侧载应用,或直接向朋友分享开发版本来绕过 Google 的发布体系,却遇到了 Android 开发者验证要求。 该开发者反对收取 25 美元的费用、要求进行身份和付款验证、要求作出某些声明,以及针对未满 20 岁用户设置的类似规则,尽管他的应用是免费的,而且没有任何商业用途。他批评 Google 让个人开发者分发 Android 应用变得过于困难。

The Hacker News 的讨论批评了 Google 的 Android 开发者验证计划,该计划要求验证政府签发的身份证件和地址,尤其给小型开发者带来了困难。评论者提到注册流程具有侵扰性、账号被关闭,以及失去访问权限后难以管理电子邮件偏好设置等问题。 有人建议使用 PWA 作为替代方案,以避开应用商店的要求和费用。不过,也有人指出,图形密集型游戏通常仍需要原生 Android API,因为 WebGL 和 WebGPU 无法完全取代 OpenGL ES 或 Vulkan。 更广泛的争论涉及移动开发领域不佳的经济效益:平台费用、严格的审核制度和官僚流程带来的负担,可能超过应用商店支付所得的收益。开发者仍可能选择移动平台,因为应用能提供更好的营销效果、用户体验或平台变现渠道。总体而言,讨论串体现了人们对日益增加的准入限制的不满,并与 Linux 为独立开发者提供的更大自由度形成对比。

ivx 👾💀 on X: "Previously, I started a new Play Store account because I wanted to make video games for Android. But I never got time to finish my game. As a result, my personal play store account was closed by @Google because of inactivity. Now, I developed a new app, let's publish it on play store. But I cannot restore my old account. The message now says "To start publishing apps on Google Play, create a new account." but I haven't found any method to create a new play console account yet either. Okay no problem, I don't need a play store account just to publish apps, I could maybe ship an APK via @fdroidorg . But wait, what's this? To distribute my APK in the future, I must sign up for Android Developer Verification Program? Okay it should be just a sign up then. No big deal. But wait, this Android Developer Verification Program costs 25$? I just wanna publish my little app for free. I am not even making money out of it. Why should I be paying this tax to Google? Okay 25$ isn't a big amount, I can pay. But what's this, I need to tell them who I am as well? WTF is this shit! Okay how about I will just share a development build with my friends. Tf? Even for the users below 20, I must register with the techno overlord? Sure there is no 25$ for 20 or less, but I still need to have a verified payments profile and must tell them my opinion about publishing on android? Tell me @Google, can I write "Fuck you" there? or should I be a lickaboot loyal little rule-follower and write a love letter there?"
