What happens to hobby android app development when this comes into effect?

You can't even test stuff you made on your own hardware without getting verified.

Same as iOS, either it dies or you pay for it.

As others pointed out this problem isn't special.

Grok 4 heavy Thought for 4m 17s

{"decoded_prefix": "nqxznhzhvqvvjddqiterrqdboctzzmoxmhyzlcfe", "last_10": "kfohgkrkoj", "vowel_counts": {"a": 7, "e": 18, "i": 7, "o": 12, "u": 6}}

it did count another e, but that's a known point of failure for LLMs which i assume you put in intentionally.

>Counting e's shows at least 10 more, so total e's are <at least> 17.

I guess GPT-5 with thinking is still a bit ahead of grok. I wonder what the secret sauce is.
