I just received an email from Google informing me that, starting in January 2026, age verification checks will be introduced (for apps published in the United States) through calls to their APIs.
The integration guide for these methods (available here: https://developer.android.com/google/play/age-signals/overview) explains how to implement them on a native Android platform. Do you think a plugin or library will be developed to perform this verification from our Ionic apps?

Unfortunately Iām running Capacitor 5 currently and this requires Capacitor 8.
I do plan to upgrade next year but there is no way I am upgrading before Xmas.
Hoping to get this done before March 2026.
Curious how many developers are just risking it with Texas and not bothering with this. Surely not every one of the 2 million apps is being updated in this very short time frame.
I think I will implement geo blocking for Texas in my app which is not SB2420 compliant but it may reduce risk if no one can use the app or create an account from Texas.
