Google asks court for emergency stay as it has just 14 days to enact Major changes to Play Store and …
Google successfully secured an emergency stay from the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals on Friday, temporarily halting sweeping changes to its Android ecosystem that were set to begin within two weeks following Epic Games’ second major antitrust victory against the tech giant.
The emergency filing revealed Google had just 14 days to implement significant modifications to its Google Play Store operations and business relationships with phonemakers, carriers, and app developers. These changes would have fundamentally altered how Google conducts business across its Android platform, potentially affecting millions of users and over 500,000 app developers.
