“Last November, Google announced that developers will be required to publish new apps on the Play Store using the Android App Bundle (AAB) format instead of an APK. Just the other day, Google reminded developers of this upcoming requirement, setting off a firestorm of controversy from users who believe that Google is killing APKs, eliminating sideloading, hindering third-party app stores, and whatnot.

It’s true that Android App Bundles are a pretty big departure from the classic APK format you might be used to, both as a user and as a developer. While there are quite a few benefits to using App Bundles, there’s one key aspect to making them that has some developers and security experts rightly concerned.

In this article, we’ll cover the criticisms we’ve seen of the switch to Android App Bundles as well as some proposed solutions, and we’ll also talk about
Google’s proposed solution to these problems.”

“The #Google #Chrome engineering team is going to disable the alert() function in a future version because it’s often used by scammers to trick users. This is going to be a breaking change to the web platform so go update your apps & debugging tools before the change rolls out.”
