Apparently, sideloading will be banned in the future. What is the future of ChatterUI?

Sideloading will be barred for unsigned APKs.

Its likely that I will start providing APKs with proper Playstore credentials, and the goal is to get this app on both Google Playstore and the iOS App Store by this year, so it may not be an issue.

There is also a chance that this change doesn't go through with enough consumer backlash. Apple was pressured to allow sideloading by the EU, its possible Google may follow suit.
