3 weeks agoSupreme Court refuses to pause Play Store changes while Google appeals antitrust case
Changes are coming to the Play Store in spite of a concerted effort from Google to maintain the status quo.

At that time, the installation process was lengthier and involved multiple "scare screens" - warnings about the potential dangers of installing apps from sources other than the App Store.
