        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.

            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=

            https://community.e.foundation/t/e-os-statement-about-google-developer-verification/79892

            Do you have different information?
