Google to Allow One-Tap Android App Installs From Approved Third-Party Stores Outside U.S.

Google will allow approved third-party Android app stores to install apps with one tap and update them in the background, starting December 1, but only outside the U.S. Stores must pass identity checks and submit their full catalog and every update for malware scanning. The move aims to balance security with user convenience, though U.S. availability remains excluded.
