You NEVER need to turn off Google Play Protect. Because this is a private school app distributed directly to students and staff rather than published on the public consumer app store, follow these 3 simple steps to install:
1
Download and tap OakridgeAttendance.apk in your notification bar or Downloads folder. Tap Install.
2
When Android shows "Play Protect doesn't recognize this app's developer", tap More details (or the small arrow ⌄).
3
Tap Install anyway. That's it! The app installs immediately and your phone remains 100% protected by Google Play Protect.
Play Protect Safe: Requests zero intrusive permissions. Only camera access is requested when you choose to scan the classroom QR.
