Google restricts Android sideloading
A lot of my non-techy friends have a sideloaded copy of spotify/youtube to get premium features for free. I think they just blindly follow some guide they find on tiktok.

Spotify uses something like the Play Integrity API to prevent access using modded APKs.

There are still many modded apks that work. My friends still use them.

I’m talking about the Spotify case, I’m sure there are a lot of naive apps that don’t use APK integrity checks.

Yes... I obviously meant many modded Spotify APKs. I don't know how exactly but there seems to be a way to get around the integrity API.
