      Correction: SSL certificates can expire before someone would want to continue being able to install any given app.

        Sure, the developer needs to keep the certificate up to date and re-sign the APK on occasion.

          So any APK I download will just expire at some point in time that’s probably really annoying to know, and then I have to dig through the internet again so I can install the app again?

            If it’s anything like how Windows does it, you would still be able to override it. It just gives you a scary warning and hides the option unless you click “more info” or something.
