Title basically says it all. With the advent of Google disabling sideloading of non-verified APKs, one of my first questions was whether or not this would cause issues with the Samsung Store, given that it works parallel to Google's Play Store services.

Would this potentially force Samsung to implement their own verification process for apps on the Samsung Store? or would a majority of the smaller applications simply fork their projects to the Samsung Store as a means to keep them available to Samsung devices?

@wukantu1 I seriously doubt this will eliminate the Samsung Store. I would be surprised if the apps in Samsung Store aren't already verified via Google.
