Google rumoured to be re-thinking its revenue sharing with app developers

After Apple announced its new plan for app developers, Google’s reportedly thinking of doing the same thing for its own developers. According to Recode, though, the 85/15 revenue split Google also plans to implement will begin immediately. It won’t require developers to have a user subscribe for one year before the new revenue sharing method kicks in, which is what Apple is doing. Unnamed sources said Google has been trying this out with entertainment companies over a year ago with video services to boost its offerings as well as have them work on its TV streaming devices such as the Cast dongle. There isn’t any confirmation yet, though, if Google will implement this and when. Google has long been trying to get developers to invest in its platform like they do with Apple so we won’t be surprised if the tech giant does resolve to do this.
