The introduction of AAB as a requirement for new apps should make it harder for shady operators to rip packages from the Google Play Store, saddle them with malware, and try to push them through other channels-at least in theory. It's a popular option for those who like to tinker and experiment with their devices, but if you're not careful it can cause security and stability problems. It's also not clear what this is means for app sideloading, where users can put apps on their devices without going through official channels. But part of the AAB packaging process relies on Google's cloud computing power to verify apps, which means it has ever tighter control over the ecosystem and the way that apps are distributed. The AAB standard is open source, so other app libraries can adopt the format, and there isn't actually too much work for developers in moving from one standard to the other.
