    yes. from what I understand, you will get a developer key from Google, and then you will sign your APK with your key.

    you’ll still be able to sideload apps that have been signed with developer keys. the main point here is that Google is forcing the developer to identify themselves.

      You don’t need to sign anything just turn off play protect with 1 adb command:

      adb shell settings get global package_verifier_user_consent
      adb shell settings put global package_verifier_user_consent -1  # disable Play Protect
