Starting November 1st, 2024, and ending November 1st, 2027, Google must also: - Stop requiring Google Play Billing for apps distributed on the Google Play Store (the jury found that Google had illegally tied its payment system to its app store) - Let Android developers tell users about other ways to pay from within the Play Store - Let Android developers link to ways to download their apps outside of the Play Store - Let Android developers set their own prices for apps irrespective of Play Billing Google also can’t: - Share app revenue “with any person or entity that distributes Android apps” or plans to launch an app store or app platform - Offer developers money or perks to launch their apps on the Play Store exclusively or first - Offer developers money or perks not to launch their apps on rival stores - Offer device makers or carriers money or perks to preinstall the Play Store - Offer device makers or carriers money or perks not to preinstall rival stores

good for third party crypto stores/ markets ... Google should embrace crypto full on while apple bans it. Good opportunity for them
