The government is open to launching a dedicated app store for Indian users, challenging the duopoly of Google and Apple in the app store market. This comes days after the developers and payment gateway players criticised new Google in-app purchase policies where those using Play Store to sell digital services will be required to use the tech giant's own built-in payment system. The Internet and Mobile Association of India (IAMAI) has also called a meeting of its founder members very soon to deliberate on the situation.
Google faced a strong backlash from developers globally after it announced it will enforce its own in-built billing system, which charges a 30 per cent fee to all app developers.
