The order is the result of a legal battle against Google by Epic Games, the maker of the Fortnite game.
In the United States, a court has ordered the tech giant Google to open up its Android operating system to competing app stores.
A California judge ordered that the decision take effect on November 1. Google has announced that it will appeal the decision.
The order is the result of a legal battle against Google by Epic Games, the maker of the Fortnite game. Last December, the court found that Google’s application store had an illegal monopoly on Android operating systems.
