Google has updated its support pages to confirm that it’s abiding by the court’s order. In the US, Play Store developers now have the option of using external payment platforms that bypass the Play Store entirely. This could hypothetically allow developers to offer lower prices, as they don’t have to pay Google’s commission, which can be up to 30 percent. Devs will also be permitted to direct users to sources for app downloads and payment methods outside the Play Store.
Exciting news, if I understand this right, this means if more apps use external payment gateways, Aurora store may be all you need on custom ROMs to get your essential paid apps. As they won’t be tied to a google account or gservices to verify them.
Apps may need to add appropriate sdk to process and verify those payments but that’s way better than Google having a monopoly.
