It is expected that this change will open the door to wider competition between application stores, after previous restrictions limited their spread, according to what was reported on the “theverge” technical website.
This development comes after years of legal confrontations between Google and Epic Games, which accused the company of imposing restrictions that limit competition within the Android system. As the new changes begin to be implemented, Google will have to provide a more open environment for competing stores, in line with recent judicial decisions.
Analysts believe that this step may change the way applications are distributed on Android devices, and give developers wider options to reach users, at a time when regulatory pressure is increasing on major technology companies to open their systems to competition.
