This deadline was extended. *Full content and details (external sources):* [*Apple Developer*](https://developer.apple.com/news/?id=12m75xbj) ### Google Play Store **Google Play System Update for May 2022 Adds Self-Sharing to Nearby Share Option** Google Play system updates for the month of May have been released, and one of the changes include the addition of self-sharing to the Nearby Share feature and a redesign of the Google Help app. Google system updates include the Android operating system, Google Play store, and Google Play Services.  *Full content and details (external sources):* [*Gadgets*](https://gadgets360.com/mobiles/news/google-play-system-update-may-2022-nearby-share-2944499)   **Google Play Store showing more app info without having to open listings** Google is testing a Play Store tweak on Android that lets users see more information about apps without having to open the full listing. Google Play has long made use of carousels that feature the icon, name, and rating, with three full apps visible before you have to scroll. A design in testing sees this switch to lists, though you still swipe left to see more. The icon gets slightly smaller, and Google now lists the developer-provided promo text. Tapping the arrow still takes you to a full grid view. *Full content and details (external sources):* [*9to5Google*](https://9to5google.com/2022/05/13/google-play-app-list-carousel/)   **Google Play Store now tags Android apps with accessibility (a11y) features** Google is making it easier to find accessible Android apps in the Play Store. *The purpose of a11y tags is to make it easier for Play Store users with diverse a11y needs to easily find apps they can actually use.* These accessibility tags appear as chips underneath the “About this app” section of a Google Play listing and can be tapped to see a list of other categorized applications: - Screen reader-friendly - Visual assistance - Hearing assistance - Learning disability - Motor assistance - Accessible communication (it will be added to relevant apps in the future) *Full content and details (external sources):* [*9to5Google*](https://9to5google.com/2022/05/19/google-play-accessibility-apps/)   **Google Play Store web redesign widely rolling out** Google is rolling out a big redesign of the web Play Store that brings it inline with other services. Other notable highlights include: - On mobile, it leverages a bottom bar. - The tab indicator slides/animates over to a section upon selection. - A developer page will immediately show all available apps. - The bottom of the page contains links to: Play Pass, Play Points, Gift cards, Redeem, and Refund policy, as well as Parent Guide and Family sharing. *Full content and details (external sources):* [*9to5Google*](https://9to5google.com/2022/05/26/google-play-web-redesign/)   ### Huawei App Gallery **Huawei to promote AppGallery and GameCenter at Nordic Game event** Huawei will showcase at the Nordic Game event how AppGallery and Huawei’s growing gaming hub – GameCenter can deliver a new opportunity to expand game developers’ user base.  *Full content and details (external sources):* [*HuaweiCentral*](https://www.huaweicentral.com/huawei-to-promote-appgallery-and-gamecenter-at-nordic-game-event/)   **Huawei AppGallery flaw**  Huawei has had to develop its own software solutions, as it's banned from using Google's.

AppGallery apparently has a pretty huge issue: it allegedly allows anyone to download paid apps for free. *Full content and details (external sources):* [*GSMArena*](https://www.gsmarena.com/huawei_appgallery_flaw_allegedly_allows_anyone_to_download_paid_apps_for_free-news-54368.php)   **Huawei AppGallery gets 12.2.1.301 app version** Huawei AppGallery is getting a new version 12.2.1.301 and it brings a number of new optimizations for your Huawei smartphone to collaborate with App installation and brings you better application services. *Full content and details (external sources):* [*HuaweiCentral*](https://www.huaweicentral.com/huawei-appgallery-gets-12-2-1-301-app-version/) [Mobile and App](https://blog.unguess.io/tag/mobile-and-app) [Share via Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/sharer/sharer.php?u=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.unguess.io%2Fnews-on-app-stores-may-2022) [Share via Twitter](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?url=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.unguess.io%2Fnews-on-app-stores-may-2022&text=News+On+App+Stores%2C+May+2022) [Share via Email](mailto:?subject=News+On+App+Stores%2C+May+2022&body=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.unguess.io%2Fnews-on-app-stores-may-2022) [Share via LinkedIn](https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https%3A%2F%2Fblog.unguess.io%2Fnews-on-app-stores-may-2022&title=News+On+App+Stores%2C+May+2022&summary=May+2022%3A+The+Latest+News+on+App+Stores) ## Similar posts Mobile and App ### [News On App Stores, June 2022](https://blog.unguess.io/news-on-app-stores-june-2022?hsLang=en) June 2022: The Latest News on App Stores Newsroom Jul 6, 2022 News ### [News On App Stores, October 2022](https://blog.unguess.io/news-on-app-stores-october-2022?hsLang=en) October 2022: The Latest News on App Stores Newsroom Nov 21, 2022 News ### [News On App Stores, November  2022](https://blog.unguess.io/news-on-app-stores-november-2022?hsLang=en) November 2022: The Latest News on App Stores Newsroom Dec 30, 2022 News ### [News On App Stores, December  2022](https://blog.unguess.io/news-on-app-stores-december-2022?hsLang=en) December 2022: The Latest News on App Stores Newsroom Jan 9, 2023 ![unguess-logo-1](https://blog.unguess.io/hubfs/unguess-logo-1.svg) **© 2023 UNGUESS S.r.l.** UNGUESS is a registered trademark of UNGUESS S.r.l.   - [![U2Y - Verified Carbon Footprint](https://blog.unguess.io/hs-fs/hubfs/U2Y%20-%20Verified%20Carbon%20Footprint.png?width=50&height=50&name=U2Y%20-%20Verified%20Carbon%20Footprint.png)](https://app.u2y.io/brands/314) - [![UNGUESS is a leader in Crowd Testing Tools on G2](https://images.g2crowd.com/uploads/report_medal/image/1004327/medal.svg)](https://www.g2.com/products/unguess/reviews?utm_source=rewards-badge) - [![UNGUESS is a leader in Test Management on G2](https://images.g2crowd.com/uploads/report_medal/image/1004327/medal.svg)](https://www.g2.com/products/unguess/reviews?utm_source=rewards-badge) - [![UNGUESS is a leader in Crowd Testing Tools on G2](https://images.g2crowd.com/uploads/report_medal/image/1004379/medal.svg)](https://www.g2.com/products/unguess/reviews?utm_source=rewards-badge) - [![UNGUESS is a leader in Europe Test Management on G2](https://images.g2crowd.com/uploads/report_medal/image/1004391/medal.svg)](https://www.g2.com/products/unguess/reviews?utm_source=rewards-badge) - [![UNGUESS is a leader in EMEA Test Management on G2](https://images.g2crowd.com/uploads/report_medal/image/1004447/medal.svg)](https://www.g2.com/products/unguess/reviews?utm_source=rewards-badge) #### SERVICES - [AI Training](https://unguess.io/services/ai-training-testing/) - [User Experience](https://unguess.io/services/use-case/user-experience/) - [Software Quality](https://unguess.io/services/use-case/software-quality/) - [Cyber Security](https://unguess.io/services/use-case/cyber-security/) - [Accessibility](https://unguess.io/services/accessibility/) #### SHOWCASE - [Blog](https://blog.unguess.io) - [Our Crowd](https://unguess.io/our-crowd/) - [Tryber.me](https://tryber.me/) - [Integrations](https://unguess.io/integrations/) - [Partners](https://unguess.io/partners/) #### COMPANY [Work with us](https://unguess.io/life-at-unguess/#job-positions) [Get in touch](https://unguess.io/get-started/) **General inquires:** [info@unguess.io](mailto:info@unguess.io)   [Privacy Policy](https://unguess.io/privacy-policy/)  | [ESG Policy](https://unguess.io/esg-policy/)  | [Personal Data Processing Notice: Customers and Suppliers](https://unguess.io/personal-data-processing-notice-customers-and-suppliers/) | [Model 231](https://unguess.io/model-231/) | [Ethical Code](https://unguess.io/ethical-code/) | [Cookies Settings](https://www.iubenda.com/privacy-policy/833252/full-legal)  |  [Terms & Conditions](https://unguess.io/terms-and-conditions/) UNGUESS S.r.l. – VAT 01603290196   © 2022 Kalungi, Inc. - All Rights Reserved.
