it's official. Google is the best!!
Instead of barring users from sideloading apps, Google attempts to protect users from various threats regardless. A really good move.

Awesome news, I see a lot of glass houses crashing down after some crowds read this. More people need to know about this so the FUD can stop.

Dear Phone Arena,

You guys should make an article explaining these components that apps try to access. Example, what does it mean when an app can modify and delete the contents of my USB storage? Does it only modify and/or delete the files that it create (i.e. those files that it needs to run) or does it also modify my personal files? Does it do this with my permission?

It'll be good if you could make one.
