Now, Google has started blocking paid apps installed from outside the Play Store. If you try to open one, you'll get an error and be redirected to a page where you're politely asked to buy the app. Users are already reporting issues with popular games like Minecraft, as developers are now using Google Play Integrity API to protect their apps.
This feature only works on the latest OS versions for now, so don’t update your system if you want to keep using apps like before!
