Google appeals verdict forcing it to allow third-party app stores on Android, facing Epic Games and US agencies.

Google is appealing a court verdict that found its Play Store monopolizes app distribution on Android devices, to a US appeals court in San Francisco. The case, filed by Epic Games, resulted in an order for Google to allow third-party app stores and alternative payment systems. Google argues the trial judge made legal errors, while supporters of Epic include Microsoft, the US Justice Department, and the Federal Trade Commission. The appeals court will decide whether to uphold the verdict, with potential further appeals to the Supreme Court.
