Google is about to restrict all that, by preventing installation of anything they haven’t approved. Developers will have to register their personal information with Google no matter where they publish their apps. This eliminates developer privacy and gives Google the power to shut down any developer whose apps they don’t like. I don’t know whether there will be fees involved in registering With Google.
I wouldn’t be surprised if developers of “boycott USA” apps get shut out, along with anyone else whose apps do politically or corporately inconvenient things.

Worst case, you can still publish it as a web app.
