美国安卓应用分发市场出现新变化。葡萄牙应用分发平台 Aptoide 已重新进入美国 Google Play,成为当地首个回归 Google Play 的第三方安卓应用商店。这意味着美国用户如今可以直接在 Google Play 内安装一个与谷歌自家商店竞争的替代平台。

法院裁决推动限制放宽

这次变化与 Epic Games 起诉谷歌一案的后续进展有关。美国地区法官 James Donato 的裁决要求谷歌允许安装来自 Play Store 之外的第三方应用。相关限制被外界长期批评为妨碍竞争。

在此背景下,谷歌自 2026 年 6 月 22 日起启动 Play Catalog Access Program,允许第三方应用商店接入 Google Play 的应用目录。这样一来,竞争对手可以在保持独立运营的同时,使用 Google Play 的部分分发基础设施,并向用户提供应用目录中的内容。

Aptoide在美国扩大触达

Aptoide 是 Google Play 之外规模较大的安卓应用市场之一。该平台目前提供超过 4 万款安卓应用,月活跃用户约为 2500 万。

  • 应用数量:超过 4 万款
  • 月活用户:约 2500 万
  • 美国此前为其最大市场

对 Aptoide 来说,重新进入 Google Play 的意义在于降低安装门槛。过去依赖侧载的模式,往往要求用户手动调整设备设置,也更难触达普通用户。如今通过 Google Play 分发,Aptoide 在美国市场的可见度和获取用户的效率都有望提升。

Epic与谷歌诉讼影响延续

Epic Games 于 2020 年起诉谷歌,指控其在安卓应用生态中实施反竞争做法。2023 年,陪审团裁定 Epic 胜诉。此后谷歌提出上诉,但未能推翻结果。

谷歌在今年早些时候还表示,将取消 Play Store 佣金,并进一步简化安卓用户安装替代应用商店的流程。Aptoide 此次回归,是这一调整开始落地的首个明确案例。

这也意味着,美国安卓应用商店市场的竞争方式正在发生变化。过去由 Google Play 主导的分发入口,正在向第三方平台开放更多空间。
