      “Allowed and supported” is something different then “its possible”. The article mentions some points that seemingly haven’t been “supported” in the past:

      • Stop requiring Google Play Billing for apps distributed on the Google Play Store (the jury found that Google had illegally tied its payment system to its app store)
      • Let Android developers tell users about other ways to pay from within the Play Store
      • Let Android developers link to ways to download their apps outside of the Play Store
      • Let Android developers set their own prices for apps irrespective of Play Billing

      Google also can’t:

      • Share app revenue “with any person or entity that distributes Android apps” or plans to launch an app store or app platform
      • Offer developers money or perks to launch their apps on the Play Store exclusively or first
      • Offer developers money or perks not to launch their apps on rival stores
      • Offer device makers or carriers money or perks to preinstall the Play Store
      • Offer device makers or carriers money or perks not to preinstall rival stores
