ITHome reports Google now lets approved third-party Android stores offer one-tap installs and auto-updates on Android 17 QPR2+ devices outside the US.

ITHome reports Google now allows third-party Android app stores to apply for one-tap install permission, enabling single-tap installs and background auto-updates. [1]

Stores must submit their full catalog and every future app or update for ongoing malware scans, register as organizations, complete Android developer verification, and pay an annual $10,000 review fee. [1]

Approved stores can start the feature on 1 December, but only on Android 17 QPR2 and later devices outside the United States; each install requires explicit user consent and visible notifications. [1]
