    Side loaded apps can’t bypass anything more than play-provided apps.

    Play still does all it’s protection, annoyingly (even when you turn protection off).

    Root is the only way to get around those protections (or using a ROM that doesn’t have play installed).

      I dont mess around with Android but from the article it seems like side loaded apps have easier access to OS APIs?

      That’s what I meant
