Summary
Google recently decided to enforce a long-standing Play Store rule that says Google Play must be the one-and-only in-app purchase provider for apps downloaded from the Play Store, locking out developers from using their own payment solutions.The latest huge developer that is unhappy with Google's new policy is Match Group, the owner of Tinder and several other dating apps. Those include guaranteeing that Match Group apps will still be allowed to offer users choice in payment systems, lessening the undue burden on developers by its previously stated policy, and eliminating Google's complete control over user data." Google says that this agreement was "at the court's request" and that this is a "temporary agreement while the case is being heard and we prepare our planned countersuit." Google even uses the word "temporary" in bold at one point.
