BREAKING: Google Announced New Rules For Sideloading Apps
1. Enable developer mode
2. Confirm you aren't being coached:
A quick check to make sure that no one is talking you into turning off your security as scammers often pressure victims into disabling protections.
3. Restart your phone & reauthenticate:
This cuts off any remote access or active phone calls a scammer might be using to watch what you’re doing.
4. Come back after the protective waiting period and verify:
There is a one-time, one-day wait & then you can confirm that this is really you who’s making this change with our biometric authentication or device PIN. Scammers rely on manufactured urgency, so this breaks their spell.
5. Install apps:
Once you confirm you understand the risks, you’re all set to install apps from unverified developers, with the option of enabling for 7 days or indefinitely. For safety, you’ll still see a warning that the app is from an unverified developer, but you can just tap “Install Anyway.”

More Clarification About The New Rules For Sideloading Apps in Android
1. ADB installs are not affected.
The waiting period does not apply to app installs via ADB.
2. No need to keep Developer Options ON
Once you change your phone's settings to allow apps to be installed from unregistered apps, you can turn OFF developer mode and download / update as normal. You don't have to keep developer options on to use this feature
3. 24hrs wait is a one-time process.
The one-day wait time is to change system settings which you have to do only once. After the settings take effect, you can install apps from anywhere you choose just as today.
Always Remember: Google Is Not Xiaomi!

What's up! We have some bad
The Pixel 10 devices (excluding the 10a) are getting a bootloader update in one of the future Android releases that increments the anti-rollback version for the bootloader.
This means that, after upgrading, you won't be able to downgrade to a lower version of Android. You might need to sideload a full OTA image again to avoid bricking in certain situations.
By the way, we're working on Pixel 11 leaks and a chemical element (13), stay tuned!
