The price only has to be paid if you don’t want to be subject to Googles advanced flow for installing non verified apps and want to access their catalog. Aurora will likely require the advanced flow and gets the apps through scraping, meaning they wouldn’t be subject to this, however they might gain access to some APIs that make the process easier.
Yea that’s what I mean, when the options are pay 5k, or have every user on the platform go through a 24h timer delay and multiple scare warnings, I think an argument can be made about it being prohibitive and against the nature of the injunction. If I understand the case right, they have already ruled that Google needs to allow for third party stores and can’t prohibit them, its just Epic and Google were fighting about how they would go about it. I don’t think them agreeing to this changed the already in place ruling that google was given.
