    Huh. That’s a weird restriction that definitely gives credence to their case

    Are accessibility services only part of Google Play and not AOSP…?

    Edit: FalseMyrmidon pointed out an article about the restriction below

    https://www.androidpolice.com/android-13-blocks-accessibility-services-sideloaded-apps/

    Which states it’s only for side loaded applications, not for applications downloaded through a separate app store, so this wouldn’t affect Epic

    It’s also important to note that Google is only restricting sideloaded apps. If you use an alternative app distribution platform like F-Droid or the Amazon app store, you won’t run into the accessibility services restrictions
