We’ve made a few updates to how we handle mobile distribution for Sarah's Forge going forward.
Due to upcoming policy changes and tighter registration requirements from Google scheduled for November, we’ve decided to remove all Android apps previously distributed through Sarah's Forge. These changes introduce additional overhead and constraints that don’t align well with how we want to ship smaller, fast-moving tools and experimental software.
Going forward, we’ll be focusing our mobile releases on the official app marketplace instead. That means Pocket25 will be moving into the official app store ecosystem, with a proper, compliant release path and ongoing updates delivered through standard channels. This should make installation, updates, and trust far more straightforward for users.
Pocket25 will be the first project to follow this new distribution model, and it will serve as the baseline for how future mobile releases are handled.
Future software from Sarah's Forge will still be sold and distributed through official app store channels where applicable, rather than standalone Android packages. This should help streamline support, improve discoverability, and ensure long-term stability across devices.
We’ll continue building and shipping tools as usual—just with a more standardized distribution path moving forward.
