Google Pay has evolved as a popular payment application particularly in India. It has major market share in UPI transactions. The application has removed from Apple app store right now.

It’s not the decision taken by Apple. Google itself removed the application to fix a technical Glitch. the same thing has happened on Google’s own Google Play Store also a few weeks back. Many users who were tried to download it from Play Store had complained the non availability of the App at that time.

Coming to the app store issue, Google pay said that the application will reappear on Apple App store soon. As per the information, “Computer Era” got from trusted sources revealed that, there was a serious technical issue with the existing package. To resolve the issue, Google has pulled down the existing application on Apple app store.

The removal of the application not only affects the new downloads from App Store, those people who have already installed Google pay on their iPhones, iPads may come across some failed transactions. So it’s better to avoid Google pay transactions for a moment until Google bring back Google Pay application on to the App Store. When such things happen, particularly with payment applications users become panic about their transactions and bank account associated with that payment application. Here you must understand, it’s not a security issue. So No need to worry about it.

India May Soon have Its Own Local App Store – Atmanirbhar

by

As a part of making the country self-capable, and reliant, India may soon come up with its very own application store reportedly with the name Atmanirbhar.

According to the reports of ET Now, this rumoured but yet to be launched local application store will not levy a 30% cut for hosting the apps. Everything sounds good on paper. We still have to wait and see to know the efficiency of the approach.

According to reports, Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY)’s Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (C-DAC) will definitely be responsible for developing this Google play store alternative.

If you are not aware, there already exists a government app store called as Mobile Seva. As per reports, government may scale up this existing service for this new initiative.

One thing we must understand is that developing an application store isn’t a really tough task. But attracting developers to host their apps in the app store is the real task. Even technology giants like Samsung and Huawei have taken years to make most of the popular apps available in their respective app stores.

If this rumour becomes a reality, then it will definitely be an interesting turn to see if this Indian app store gets enough attraction to emerge as a maintstream platform or the go to destination for downloading apps in the country.
