G+_Joseph Cappellino Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Holly M. Paddock - There is no reason other than Amazon built a bit of the framework into the Amazon Appstore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Jason Howell (raygun01) Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 Joseph Cappellino Holly M. Paddock? does Google have a competing apps store clause that means app stores can't be distributed via Play? I know Apple has that clause, I just assumed it was that.

G+_Jason Howell (raygun01) Posted September 2, 2015 Share Posted September 2, 2015 I dunno, but disregard my previous comment. I was thinking more about the actual Amazon App Store app, and not the Video app. But Joseph Cappellino is absolutely correct in that the Video app has hooks directly into the Amazon Appstore... and if the app store clause keeps the Amazon Appstore out of Play, then it makes sense that the Video app also wouldn't be there.

G+_Joseph Cappellino Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Jason Howell I vaguely remember that there is a clause somewhere. This happened a couple years back, so I don't remember the details. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G+_Shane Morton Posted September 3, 2015 Share Posted September 3, 2015 Jason Howell? Google does not allow other app stores to be distributed within the Play Store. It is section 4.5 of the Google Play Developer Distribution Agreement: https://goo.gl/W357qg Perhaps because Amazon sells videos within the Instant Video app, that counts as a "store". Not sure how the iOS version works though. ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

G+_R.C. Curtright Posted September 9, 2015 Share Posted September 9, 2015 In addition to it being against GP TOS, the Amazon App store was once on GP before it got the boot. http://www.slashgear.com/amazon-app-kicked-from-google-play-11359190/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
