- guard-of-terra 11y agoGoogle makes it impossible for a single manufacturer to ship both google services android and yandex flavor adroid. Or any other custom android; just ask Samsung, Google pressurized them to drop their own ecosystem. This is anticompetitive if you ask me.
- bitmapbrother 11y agoReally? Last time I checked my Samsung tablet I could still go to the Samsung app store to install apps. Where is this pressure you speak of that made the Samsung store app go away?

You cannot ship Google Androids and non-Google Androids. It's part of the MARA." I think just having your own store is okay as long as you don't bundle their competitors and don't exclude google play and you are big enough to put some weight.
