    Afaik GrapheneOS won’t be affected, neither will e/OS. The real problem with them still being based as AOSP is, that google might stop the AOSP project. That would mean the forks would need to do that continous based development themselves.

      It affects Graphene because people using it still get their apps from Google Play, Aurora Store (also the Play Store), and F-Droid, etc.

        I searched for statements from GOS and e/OS and what I found tells a different story

        https://discuss.grapheneos.org/d/26337-android-developer-verification-are-we-screwed-no-doesnt-apply-to-gos/25 https://xcancel.com/GrapheneOS/search?f=tweets&q=certified&since=&until=&near=

        Do you have different information?
