| Google: 3% of paid apps are not compatible with Play Store tax |
On Monday, Google tried to face the criticism, claiming that it would impose an arbitrary 30% tax on sales of paid apps. More than 3% of paid apps that violate the rules must comply with the rules within one year.
Epic Games, the online advertising innovator and owner of the popular game Fornite, filed a lawsuit last month accusing Google and Apple of using their payment systems on their apps to get some sales. .
The App Store is a growing business for both Google and Apple, and their core businesses (such as Google ads and Apple iPhone sales) have stopped working.
Google said: In the past twelve months, less than 3% of developers who created apps on the Play Store sold digital products and nearly 97% followed payment system guidelines.
According to a recent Bloomberg News report, Google intends to release updated guidelines for app developers, as these revised guidelines require most apps to use download billing services from Google. In-app content, game upgrades, and subscriptions.
Although this requirement has been implemented for many years, some major developers including Netflix, Spotify and Epic Games have broken the rules and bypassed Google.
Netflix and Spotify apps require consumers to use credit cards instead of Google Play app store accounts to bypass the search giant's fees.
A Google spokesman said in a statement: Android as an open platform enables many app stores, and most Android devices have at least two app stores, and users can install other app stores.
Spotify and several other developers formed an alliance earlier this week to promote fairer guidelines for app stores.
