Could Google kick out Russian apps from Android for good? A new developer verification system may be the first step towards a total ban for Moscow developers, almost 56 months since the start of the Ukraine war

The Russian Ministry of Digital Development has expressed concerns about Google's Android developer verification process starting in September 2026, which may hinder the accessibility of Russian applications on Android devices. Minister Maksut Shadaev noted that the verification checks could restrict users from freely installing mobile applications, posing challenges for developers already affected by removals from online marketplaces. Users may face a waiting period of up to 24 hours for certain installations. The potential exclusion of Russian applications from Android devices raises concerns about the future viability of local developers.
