Google has temporarily reinstated the apps of developers with appeals pending in the Supreme Court, in a move described as a 'spirit of cooperation'. This decision comes after Google faced criticism from the Indian government, leading to a U-turn where the company relisted Indian apps. The conflict between Google and Indian app developers, particularly over the US firm's billing policies, has seen major telecom players like Vodaone, Airtel, and Reliance Jio-backed associations joining the fight. In a significant development, Google and Indian apps have agreed on a four-month truce regarding the billing fee faceoff. Additionally, Indian app developers and Google are setting up a forum aimed at devising a long-term solution to the app billing issue within the next 120 days.
