Er der mon nogle omkring Nordjylland der rodder med alternativer til Android, og har lyst til at give en hånd med at installere det på en af mine telefoner? Jeg har mod på at prøve det af inden jeg skifter over med min “fast” telefon

The “workaround” is more like a serious obstacle course that will kill any attempt at alternatives to Play Store.

There is a developer mode, but It’s been made more difficult to use. Even if It’s still an option, it’s clear that Google is trying to discourage installing apps from sources other than the Play store.

As i understand it you can use ADB to get app outside play on your device.

I’m a bit confused as I’ve been following this and last I heard they said they were going to implement a workaround for power users?
