Why do you think I'm supporting Google? Google is worse. I'm saying apple doesn't go through the play store on Android. Is no convenience or security needed there? > because they provide completely different services They provide the exact same thing. Review process is not related to the service they provide. It is related to devs putting their app on the store. > Google prices some services differently, and Apple is 100% playing by the rules. Apple does the same thing with Amazon. They also demand a fee on iOS, while taking a freeride on Android. > What phone number do I call for a billing issue with Google You didn't say what billing issue. A quick search gave me this number 1-877-355-5787 . I'm not tech support.

Well Apple does distribute Apple Music via the Play Store, and it follows all of Google’s rules around payment processing. > They provide the exact same thing. Review process is not related to the service they provide. The review process is a part of the service they provide to their paying customers, and it is a key market differentiator for Apple. > Apple does the same thing with Amazon. Apple doesn’t take a cut of any sale of physical goods via apps. > A quick search gave me this number 1-877-355-5787 There actually is no number, because Google doesn’t offer that level of support (unlike Apple). That is the phone number for premium G Suite and Cloud Identity customers.

  > follows all of Google’s rules around payment processing That's the thing. They are not implementing these rules on iOS while following them on other platforms. >Apple does the same thing with Amazon. I was talking about Prime Video. Amazon got a discount

    I can’t see what argument you’re putting forward for why Apple is being hypocritical here. Because they distribute their own apps on the Play Store they should required to implement all of the same policies that the Play Store does on their own App Store?...
