Forum Reactions
Users are weighing in on the proposed restriction, with some expressing skepticism about its effectiveness.
I am generally in favor of security improvements, but I do not really see much of a benefit here. This attack vector requires both that the user enabled developer settings and that they have remote adb enabled.
Others are worried about the potential consequences of this restriction.
Of course this was bound to happen, next you’re telling me people will be surprised that the 24 hour limit for side loading will turn into some indefinite time period.
Developer Concerns
Developers are concerned about the impact of this restriction on their workflow and the potential for abuse.
It’s frankly amazing how many Google developers will associate their real identities and contact info with such hostility, believing they’re invincible.
