Android sideloading allows self-signed APKs. You won't see anything regarding digital signatures, unless, I suppose, a signature is invalid. I've seen these Play Store popups with fake antivirus alerts or whatever. I can see some people being unfamiliar enough with the Internet to install such an app.

What is that supposed to mean?

Yeah, that’s true. Android makes sideloading pretty open, so a lot of people don’t even realize the difference between self-signed and properly signed apps. The fake AV stuff still works on folks who just click through without thinking, so it’s more about social engineering than the signature itself.

I still don't know what you're talking about. The Play Store is for Android apps. The App Store is for iOS apps. It's up to the developer to support the platform, and the user to know how to download apps.
