Google ordered to open its Android app store to competitors | VGC

A US judge has ordered Google to open its Android marketplace to competitors, meaning Google will not be allowed to block the distribution of third-party Android app stores through Google Play and must grant them access to the full catalogue of apps. Key changes to Google's practices will come into effect on November 1, 2024, including restrictions on paying developers to launch apps first or exclusively through the Play Store, offering incentives to pre-install Google Play on new devices, and forcing app makers to use Google Play Billing. Google plans to appeal the verdict, stating that the changes would harm consumers, developers, and device makers.
