After 2027, such pop-ups will not be able to tap the skip button. For all apk installations on GMS devices, developers must register with Google under their real names and submit identity documents before the Play protection mechanism will allow them to sideload the installation.
For any package name known to Google, developers with a signature key that accounts for more than 50% of the total known installs have registration priority. All other developers are required to submit a request to use that package name.
If no single key has more than 50% of the installs, all keys with 50 or more installs can be used to register the package name. Developers of keys with less than 50 installations need to submit a request to use the package name.
If no key meets the 50 installations threshold, all keys known to Google are available for first-come, first-served registration. Once a developer has registered a package name, other developers will need to submit a request to use that package name.
