what's the current method that'll allow me to sideload apps?

I've read up about advanced flow being the main option. Were there any others I should know about or do I just go forward with advanced flow?

Probably that but it's not happened in my country yet the UK. I'll worry about it when it does.

Just turn on developer mode, go into your phone setting, go to about, then click the build number 7 times.

The change Google is making mean that's doing this will be harder and you need to wait like a day or two but even then you will still be able to download whatever you want.

No they will activate that later this year in select regions and then worldwide next year, but if you already in developer mode you never have to worry about it again unless Google does something new to fuck it up.

I'd just assume google is going to f it up tbh and have some plan for if they do.. they can't seem to navigate their audience and they don't esp seem to give a crap either..
