With their measures and announcements, Google is trying to create an illusion of choice. Earlier this week, Epic Games criticized the company and said, “One deal does not change the anti-competitive status quo.”ĪDIF (Alliance of Digital India Foundation), an industry body of the country’s startups, said it’s unfair that developers will have to pay commission fees, and mandatorily use Google’s system: Plenty of people are still angry at Google for how it distributes apps on the Play Store. Google has complied with this, and will take an 11% cut if an app uses a third-party method. Last year, South Korea passed a law to force Apple and Google to allow developers to include alternative payment methods in their apps. But that could change as earlier this week, the Competition Comission of India (CCI) found the Big G’s billing conditions “unfair” and “discriminatory.” If your app fails to comply with Google’s policy by June 1, 2022, it’ll be removed from the Play Store.Īlthough, this isn’t the case everywhere in the world.įor developers in India, Google’s giving them until October 2022 to make the shift. You can read about the conditions on this page. Spotify’s Android App has links to its website to buy premium subscriptions. But since it has struck a deal with Google to test out alternative billing methods, it might get a pass. Technically, it has to remove this section from its app. Currently, Spotify has a premium section listed on its Android app that redirects users to its website.
