Google Launches One-Tap Installs for Approved Stores

Google launches a program allowing approved third-party Android stores to offer one-tap installs starting December 1. Eligible devices must run Android 17 QPR2 or later and be located outside the US. Stores pay a $10,000 yearly fee and must pass identity checks and malware scanning. The feature resolves disputes with Epic Games and expands beyond the current US-only program.
