The US Supreme Court has denied Google's request for a stay, forcing the tech giant to comply with an injunction mandating significant changes to its Android app distribution and payment systems. Google must now allow developers to offer alternative payment methods, link to external app downloads, and set their own prices, while also ceasing exclusivity deals. Epic Games, which won the lawsuit, states the deadline for compliance is October 22nd, 2025, though Google plans to appeal the ruling.
