Starting next year, Google will begin to verify the identities of developers distributing their apps on Android devices, not just those who distribute via the Play Store.

This will not apply to GrapheneOS, right?

It won't apply to GrapheneOS. It only applies to certified OSes and GrapheneOS is not certified because it doesn't license Google Mobile Services.
