Check Android developer verification registration for all your package names

From September 30, 2026, unregistered apps are blocked on certified devices in Brazil, Indonesia, Singapore and Thailand; the global rollout follows in 2027. Every flavor is a separate package name: com.acme.app, com.acme.app.debug, com.acme.app.staging… Check them all.

Enforcement starts in

Check your apps

adb shell pm list packages -3

What the states mean

REGISTERED
The package name is registered to a verified developer (and matches the certificate, if you passed one).
NOT_REGISTERED
Nobody has registered this package name. Installs on certified devices in enforcing regions are blocked unless the user enables the advanced flow or uses ADB.
REGISTERED_WITH_ANOTHER_CERTIFICATE_FINGERPRINT
Registered, but with a different signing key than the one you passed — check that you register debug/QA keys too.

Query the official API yourself (curl)

Enable “Android Developer ID Status API” in a Google Cloud project and create an API key. Default quota: 1,000 requests/day.

curl -s "https://androiddeveloperidstatus.googleapis.com/v1/packages/com.acme.app/packageRegistrationStatus:check?certificateFingerprint=SHA256_HEX" \
  -H "X-Goog-Api-Key: $ANDROID_STATUS_API_KEY"

GitHub Actions: fail the build if a package is not registered

- name: Check Android developer verification
  env:
    KEY: ${{ secrets.ANDROID_STATUS_API_KEY }}
  run: |
    for p in com.acme.app com.acme.app.debug com.acme.app.staging; do
      s=$(curl -s "https://androiddeveloperidstatus.googleapis.com/v1/packages/$p/packageRegistrationStatus:check" -H "X-Goog-Api-Key: $KEY" | jq -r .state)
      echo "$p: $s"
      [ "$s" = "REGISTERED" ] || fail=1
    done
    [ -z "$fail" ]

No API key? Use our endpoint

curl -s "https://sideloadcheck.pages.dev/api/check?p=com.acme.app,com.acme.app.debug"

Cached for a few hours, fair-use limits apply. Use your own key for CI.

FAQ

How do I check if my Android package name is registered for developer verification?

Call the Android Developer ID Status API (packageRegistrationStatus:check) with an API key, or paste your package names into the free checker on this page.

Do debug and staging builds need registration?

Yes, every distinct package name (applicationId) installed on certified devices in enforcing regions must be registered, unless installed via ADB.
