We are in a dire situation as the world has been going towards the normalization of the pratices of spreading stubs missing crucial information.
-- The medicine? "It's good against illness. You'll be fine". ("You want to know the side effects - Due Diligence or OCD?")
-- The engine? "It's ecological. Ain't you glad?" ("Three clylinders with consumables inside the engine - really do you want to know?")
-- The stats? "Here is some aggregate data as the layout demands" ("People are confused by numbers, you cannot print them on newspapers" - I really was made to hear that years ago.)
-- The contract? "Everbody signs it, sign here!" ("Really you want to read it? But we had not allotted the time...")

Is there any place in which the crucial, critical information about this new idea from Google, duly FAQ, is found? E.g. what installs the service, what does the service do if it encounters the software that we develop locally and we install on the device etc. Is there any authoritative source?

Some people use Android devices for the development of non-public software that will never reach the Play Store. (The "Corporation C internal tools APK" has no place there.) Where do we read the warranties that no disaster will happen involving my_private_app.apk?
>charcircuit, could you share what makes you confident (or informed) that the above is what will happen?
Google has stated that this is about sideloading apps and has only talked about the sideloading flow being changed. Removing already installed apps is unrelated to the sideloading / package installation flow. Google has not stated anything about deleting apps from unverified developers so I am confident it won't happen. As I mentioned there already is a component in the system responsible for removing malware.
>Where do we read the warranties that no disaster will happen involving my_private_app.apk?
There is no warranty similar to how there is no warranty Google will make your phone summon nasal demons.
>Is there any place in which the crucial, critical information about this new idea from Google, duly FAQ, is found?
It will eventually be in an apk on the device and once someone dumps I would be willing to reverse engineer it and explain its functionality free of charge.
> There is no warranty similar to how there is no warranty
that an OS does not impede the use of self produced software it has never impeded seems to me a basic warranty to be given to its user base.
All kind of related questions from "Will Android Studio (etc.) still work as before in an unmodified workflow" to "Will `adb install` still work, and on which APKs" are questions that Google should have answered preemptively, as part of the news.
