Spotted the new Android Developer Verifier app? Read this before you uninstall it

Credit: Aamir Siddiqui / Android Authority TL;DR Users are noticing a new “Android Developer Verifier” app (com.google.android.verifier) silently installed on their Android phones to prepare for upcoming sideloading restrictions. The app checks if sideloaded apps belong to legally verified developer profiles. It is part of Google’s upcoming sideloading restrictions that include a 24-hour wait and a phone reboot to disrupt high-pressure social engineering scams.
