Jolla does not have many apps. So by not including the app store from Android or a way to use Android apps, Jolla will be limiting the size of their customer base to possibly only people who follow Jolla?

the point being to avoid the goodle ad-revenue machine, that presumably does not preclude using the andoid compatibility layer with a third party android app-store such as aptoid/yandex.

Jolla plan to include Alien Dalvik in their Sony Xperia X builds.

But they'll not include the Play store. They offer Aptiode from their store instead. Otherwise you might be able to unofficially install an old version of Play store on the device if you want to.

check also the yalp store, it provide access to the apps out of the play store. The majority of german local apps are only available via play store and not any other android market. Therefore, i cant always follow the opinion of some guys here.

What is stopping to install play store? I remember it was not a problem with jolla 1, just needed some handywork.

There is no problem installing Play Store (it's preinstalled on Aqua Fish), but there is a problem downloading or updating applications as Google is excluding us.

I removed all gapps yesterday in the evening. I found out, all apps I'm using do not need the Google services. I'm fine with it. If they don't let me install apps they don't deserve it to have their services on my phone.
