Trust me, it is not fine.

I have at least one app that disables major functions when Developer Mode is active in my stock android, even with a locked bootloader and without root.

Til then, stuff works on my phone/lineageos but i thought they only checked for root because then things can go haywire and become unsafe then.

It is mostly payment options that are affected from it, for example the Zettle App by PayPal

It’s all fun and games until Google moves unknown sources to the developer tab
