Google begins certifying Registered App Stores for Android, but not in the US
Overview
Google has opened applications for its voluntary Registered App Stores program for Android markets outside the United States. Stores that are accepted will get simpler installs and background updates on some devices later this year, while US access to alternative stores follows a court order after Google's loss to Epic Games.
Key facts
- Eligible third-party stores outside the US may apply now, ahead of a simplified installation experience Google says will reach users later this year.
- Approved stores will let users install apps with a single click, similar to the Play Store, and update apps silently in the background.
- A Google spokesperson said the program was announced in March to give third-party stores a more streamlined way to reach users.
Context
Google says the program maintains Android ecosystem safety and security.
What remains uncertain
Rollout is limited to some devices later this year, and stores must apply and be accepted.
