• Early Android 11 beta users have discovered that installing apps from unknown sources will be slightly more annoying going further.
• The sideloaded apps will crash as users allow installation permissions, and that’s a feature, not a bug, that’s probably related to new storage security and privacy features.
• Android users who tested the Android 11 Developer Preview encountered the issue, with a Googler explaining it’s intended to work that way.

While Scoped Storage will benefit security and privacy, the new system apparently leads to more significant changes than anticipated. Let's hope the company works out a solution that doesn't require force-quitting apps to change their read/write permissions, but I wouldn't be surprised if comfortable sideloading support isn't too high on Google's priorities, especially since the permission only needs to be granted once per app, thus ideally requiring a force-stop only once per application.

With every Android version google`s going in the wrong direction with development of android. I noticed that in version 10 which is worse than 9 IMO and thus I think they might develop and focus on another OS. We`ll see.

Google just doing what they do best, enforcing features no one asked and removing control from it's users.

Of course non normal enduser ask for security.
But they want it in the same way, without do anything
