in Zuck's 3-minute video on insta, I initially thought he announced there would be Google Play Store, which would very likely imply Google Mobile Services, too.
But I was wrong: Zuck also said "if they (Google) are up for it." If Zuck has to resort to spitballing that idea out loud, I'd say it is far from happening any time soon.
That means HorizonOS is def not an Android equivalent to VisionOS. It's just AOSP plus the Horizon SDK.
Google should do a deal with Meta. But they guard Android with a very risk-averse approach.
- tempodox 3y agoThere can only be one ad monopolist in the world, and Google sure as hell won’t let the competition in.
- TiredOfLife 3y agoAs I understand, Google (who previously abandoned their Dreams VR thing) is currently working on their own VR version of Android.
- Zigurd 3y agoLast I heard it is called Android XR and Samsung is building a device that will run it. That makes it even less likely they will let the app store and GMS apps ship with Horizon OS
