No. Already-installed apps keep running. What changes is installing and updating: if Kodi is from an unregistered developer, certified phones in Brazil, Indonesia, Singapore and Thailand will block normal installs and updates.
Is Kodi affected outside Brazil, Indonesia, Singapore and Thailand?
Not yet. Google plans a global rollout in 2027, so checking now helps you prepare.

Enable “Allow apps from unverified developers” in Developer options (24-hour wait), or install it from a computer with ADB.
