You might not see the full effects of the Epic v. Google ruling for years


A recent court decision could hold the required changes until after Google's appeal.

"These Epic-requested changes stem from a decision that is completely contrary to another court’s rejection of similar claims Epic made against Apple — even though, unlike iOS, Android is an open platform that has always allowed for choice and flexibility like multiple app stores and sideloading," the company continued. "The court gave Google just three weeks to make many of these sweeping change — a Herculean task creating an unacceptable risk of safety and security failures within the Android ecosystem." For mow, the only measure of the injunction still set to take effect Nov. 1 is the order that bars Google make deals with OEMs or carriers that block the preinstallation of competing app stores.
