Hello, The company I work for is looking to invest in Android by making it our OS of choice for our company owned devices. We are assessing rugged devices and have noticed a lack of the Google Play Store on several of them. I've came to understand that the Playstore now provides API updates through this avenue. If this is the case, is the play store capable of adding new API's or just updating the current ones to fix bugs and provide security enhancements? So in contrast, when an OS version change is released by Google, this would automatically contain all the updates that may have been pushed to those API's via the Play Store, correct?
I think it's a bad idea for us to invest in a non play store capable device, but I need to clearly define the reasons why. Is there any other documentation I should review to help support the need for Play Services from a security viewpoint?
