War: Will Apple be forced to allow applications installation from other sources?
  • The U.S. Senate Judiciary Committee on Thursday voted to approve a bill that would curb the app stores of companies that lawmakers say have too much control over the market. We are talking, of course, about Google Play and the Apple App Store. As part of the bill, large software distribution platforms are prohibited from requiring application developers to use their payment system - developers should have a choice.

    But even more important in the new bill is that it will force Apple to allow apps to be installed on its devices from third-party sources. Such a move would allow app developers to avoid 15% and 30% App Store fees. However, according to Apple, this will jeopardize user privacy. On the contrary, although Google promotes its Google Play on Android devices, it does not prohibit users from installing software from third-party sources.

    It is lie that Google likes to still allow you to install APK, as with each new version of Android it is harder and harder to do.
