Is Google Killing Android Sideloading?
Sideloading is the process of installing apps on a smartphone from outside the official app store. On Android, this has long been a feature that sets the platform apart from its main rival, Apple’s iOS.

Others turn to sideloading because certain popular apps, like Fortnite, are not distributed through Google…

Much of Target’s current decline can be traced to a combination of economic…
