Google will require developer verification to install Android apps, including sideloading

The first developer, of apps which I use, also declared, that he will not continue developing his app any longer with the forced limitation and surveillance that Google plans to introduce for the developers. Here’s a screenshot of a pop-up after starting the app GMapsWV

The pop-up is not saying that development will cease.
The pop-up is saying that the App in question will not work anymore on certified Android devices, which most probably means devices running a Google certified Android OS, which in general should mean a stock vendor Android OS, but not Custom ROMs like LineageOS, iodéOS, /e/OS etc.
