Google-Apple duopoly, PhonePe opens Indus Appstore for Android developers
Summary
The app store will not impose any platform fees or commissions on developers for in-app purchases. In contrast, regulators around the world have criticised Google and Apple’s app stores for charging a 30% fee for in-app sales and for limiting developers’ options for payment processing methods. According to PhonePe, the Indus Appstore will include a special section called “Launch Pad” to give new apps better visibility and search engine optimization. The platform will also include a number of developer tools and features to solve issues that the majority of Android developers face, including the opportunity to list their app in 12 Indian languages in addition to English and a dedicated round-the-clock customer support team based in India, the business said. Even as a senior judge at the Singapore High Court dismissed at least two appeals filed by Affle, which contested PhonePe’s acquisition of OSLabs after a term sheet for the transaction was signed, ET was the first to report on the legal dispute between Affle Global and PhonePe.
