Stride 1.0.9 is almost here 🌿

A quick heads-up before it lands. Starting with this update, Stride's installable APK is registered with Google under Android's new developer verification.

Android now expects every app, including ones shared outside the Play Store, to come from a developer who has signed up with Google. Without it, Stride would eventually stop installing on most phones. Leaving you stuck was never an option, so we've done what's needed.

It isn't quite the Android we fell in love with, where you could build something, share it, and that was enough. But keeping Stride in your hands matters more to us than how we feel about the paperwork. 🙂

What this means for you: nothing changes. Same app, same privacy, no accounts, no tracking. Updates install over your current version as always.

🎁 And don't forget the giveaway! On 3 October at 4:00 PM IST we're posting one 100% off coupon for Stride Premium, good for the first 10 redemptions. See the giveaway post above for how to redeem, and keep Stride updated so you're ready at 4. 👀

Full changelog coming with the release. Thanks for sticking with us 💚
