Google Ordered to Open Android to Rival App Stores as Appeals Planned
Oct 7, 2024, 08:04 PM
A U.S. judge has ordered Google to open up its Android app store to more competition following Epic Games' antitrust victory. The ruling mandates that Google must allow third-party app stores and alternative billing systems on Android devices, challenging the company's control over app distribution and in-app purchases via the Google Play Store. The permanent injunction, issued by Judge James Donato, requires Google to implement changes over the next three years, including distributing rival app stores within Google Play. The order is limited to the United States. Google has announced plans to appeal the ruling. The decision significantly impacts how apps are distributed and monetized on Android, providing developers with more flexibility and users with greater choice.
