Google wants a US judge to delay his decision on the app store.

Oct. 12 (Reuters) – Google has asked a federal judge in California to halt his broad order requiring the company to open up its app store Play to more competitors.
Google stated in a Friday night court filing that the injunction order issued by U.S. District Judge James Donato, which takes effect on November 1, would be detrimental to the company and would introduce “serious safety, security, and privacy risks into the Android ecosystem.”

The adjudicator’s structure said Google should permit clients to download contending outsider Android application stages or stores and can never again forbid the utilization of contending in-application installment techniques. Additionally, it prohibits Google from sharing Play store revenue with other app distributors and from paying device manufacturers to preinstall its app store.
