Grayjay - A better way to view videos online

The app does not need to be the same, you can place any app in the appstore and call it anything you want. Just like with the example above. The app with this name is in the appstore. There is no way to tell if this is a legit app.

But if they establish that APK is the only way to install and the app becomes super popular, then people will be installing APKs, and it will be a disaster.

Also, google won't allow it in a long run when it is actually popular. Right now google would not care. The app does not need to be in the store for long. If it is popular, you will get a lot of downloads before it gets taken down. Then you repeat the process.

Futo is the company putting this out. Rossman works for Futo.

Anyone can claim to  be anyone on the appstore.

This is why it is confusing. Why do they offer to side load APK instead of going to the app store then?

This is DOA.

like vanced? ;) or that old APK of spotify that doesn't play ads? all you need is a member of the group chat to introduce the others and to keep the APK coming

ataradov:
Vanced is dead. ReVanced still exists, but it is just a set of patches and random APKs, which you constantly have to update to unbreak newly broken things.  No normal person will do that.

While Futo would be fine with a few geeks giving them $10, the whole concept of this approach was to help creators, which is not possible without wide adoption. And stripping and skipping ads hurts those creators in the mean time.
