Response to the Huawei ban?
- pedrocx486 7y agoNope, this is quite an old and mature project. Maybe it'll grow more in response to that.
- cfarm 7y agoAn appstore equivalent would allow developers to bypass the appstore revenue cut.
- TheRealPomax 7y agowhat is this in response to? The App Store is a different ecosystem running on a different operating system designed for different hardware owned by a different company entirely?
- cfarm 7y agoI believe that Huawei no longer will have access to Google Play.

- cfarm 7y agoSure this is Huawei's store, but if you were born in Europe, there's no chance that you would download something from here. https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/20/business/huawei-trump-china-trade.html https://www.nytimes.com/2019/05/20/business/huawei-trump-chi...
- yorwba 7y agoI think so too, so I guess you realize that simply having an app store is not enough to actually replace Google Play.
- TheRealPomax 7y agoI know, so why is the comment talking about Apple's app store? Something that is so different from the Play Store, on devices with such a different license, that talking about Play Store practices make no sense? There _are_ no legitimate alternatives. Not by Huawei, not by any western company, not by anyone. There's only one, and Apple has it on lock-down; it has zero bearing on anything not-Apple.
- seba_dos1 7y agoThere are plenty of Google Play Store equivalents already.
