Not sure if you noticed but this is a one time process per phone.

    I'm aware. But, why should I go through so many extra steps and wait 24hrs to install apps on a phone I paid. Also, who is to say they won't increase the requirements later in the name of "security"?

    This is not a thing on Linux and Windows. Why should it be on android?

    I rely on xdrip+ for getting blood clucose measurements. That app is not on the play store.

    So, in case I'll loose my phone and have to buy one (or even just need to reset it) I'm 24hrs without blood glucose measurements...? Yeah that sounds great /s.
