Seems like a reasonable requirement. I’m sure there will be 3rs party services to provide legit but private addresses and phone numbers on behalf of developers.

Agreed. Indie devs are up in arms about this but can you imagine buying a physical product without knowing who manufactured it? It’s good that we’re no longer treating software companies like holy cows.
