برنامه فروشگاه‌های اپلیکیشن ثبت‌شده اندروید گوگل در ۱ دسامبر راه‌اندازی می‌شود، درخواست‌ها هم‌اکنون پذیرفته می‌شوند

Running an app ecosystem has gotten a lot more complex for Google in the wake of its loss in the Epic Games antitrust case. While those in the US have access to app stores inside Google Play by order of the court, international users will have Google's voluntary Registered App Stores program . Google has announced that stores wishing to be part of that program are now free to apply, and support will roll out to some Android devices later this year.

App stores accepted into the program will enjoy preferential treatment on the Android platform. Users of approved stores will be able to install apps with a single click, similar to the experience in the Play Store. These stores will also be allowed to update apps silently in the background like Google's store does.

"In March, we announced the Registered App Stores program to give third-party app stores a more streamlined way to reach users while maintaining the safety and security of the Android ecosystem," said a Google spokesperson. "Eligible app stores outside the US can now apply to register their stores ahead of the new simplified installation experience rolling out to users later this year."
