Governments everywhere are now pushing for online identification to access online resources. This is not a coincidence. Google is - imho obviously - in contact with governments. You will need to reveal your verified, online identity in order to create a app. Even if you are just a hobbyist putting the app on your own phone. 1984 was supposed to be a warning, not a handbook.
