Here’s a look at how Android 17 will make alternative app stores easier to use

Google will introduce support for "Registered App Stores" with the upcoming Android 17 release as part of a settlement with Epic Games. Certified third-party app stores will have a streamlined installation process featuring a "single store install screen" that provides users with clear information about the store and necessary permissions. OEMs are required to simplify the installation process for these app stores, prohibiting additional restrictions on sideloading. The Epic Games Store will not be available on the Google Play Store, although Epic can list individual games like Fortnite. The settlement ends hostilities between Epic and Google, with both agreeing to refrain from disparaging each other and Epic acknowledging Google's practices as procompetitive while still advocating for broader changes in the mobile ecosystem.
