    Google allows that though or do they mean access of Google Play via 3rd party apps?

    Not that I am saying it might not be necessary to include Google from the start, sets a good precedence and prevents a future where they might go the Apple route.

    Just hope both Google and Apple won’t restrict opening up to Japanese market only. But who am I kidding, they will.

      I think this means allowing the listing of third party app stores inside the Google Play Store - so you could search for F-Droid in Google Play for example instead of downloading and installing the .apk manually.

        I don’t like that, if I am going through the play store, I only want things that have gone through googles vetting process, flawed though it may be.

          F-Droid could go through it, the thing that is prohibited is for Google to bar them just because they are a competitor.

      If they didn’t open up to anyone else when EU implemented it back in March/April, they won’t do it now.
