Is there any evidence that Google plan to do this?

[rcxdude]

They've made their intentions clear. As soon as third-parties start to use adb for sideloading there's a very good chance they start to lock that down as well.

[runting]

That is speculation. Is there any evidence?

[rcxdude]

None that will satisfy your standards, given I think only the announcement from google themselves will.

[curiousgal]

Was there ever evidence that they would take away apk installing?

[notrealyme123]

The current trajectory provides at least strong evidence.

If adb installing is used to circumvent their signing programm, it has to go as well.

adb backup is gone
