Russia speeds up the creation of its own application store for replacing the App Store and Google Play. Attention to this issue intensified after the new US sanctions against large Russian banks, following which their applications can abide from Western services.

In recent months, banks have significantly increased the capacity of their mobile applications. The web versions of mobile banks have developed much slower, and not all the functions or features of the interface to which customers are accustomed to them are available in them, and many more convenient was more convenient to enter the password without entering the password, for example, on fingerprint.

We recently talked about the NashStore State Project, which is designed to become a refuge for rogues from Western stores. At the moment, an expert advice is formed to select programs that will be included in it, and also accept applications from developers:

Initially it was assumed that the service would be ready for May 2022, but now the launch date was shifted for the summer.

In technical terms there are still many questions to the new idea: how pushup notifications will be implemented, whether the power of the user's influx at any time, how much the program will be the program to the memory resources of the ITD.

Indeed, American companies owned by the App Store and Google Play are required to delete from their stores applications under SDN-sanctions. According to its law, they do not have the right to serve such.

However, the alarm that they will soon turn off the whole of Russia entirely, too premature. So far there are no signs that indicate. Stores work clearly on legislative sanctions, as well as at the request of the authorities of the Russian Federation, block some applications in Russia, which require them.

Disable Russia for them is unprofitable and deprived of meaning. More than three-quarters of applications from all over the world continues to serve Russian users. Only companies seized their programs in Russia, who wished to minimize the business.

Of course, the latest events will create some difficulties for customers of mobile banks under sanctions. However, for Android, these organizations can post the distributions of updated versions on their official website for manual installation.

As for the IOS ecosystem, there are no options and selection here. Updates and new downloads of the relevant programs will stop working, although banks promise that customers will be able to use current versions, recommending them to update now, while still days before blocking bank applications under sanctions in these stores.

Also should be especially careful after blocking these programs. Almost immediately in stores will appear clones of these applications with similar names that kidnate user data.

As for NashStore, it is planned to be made mandatory for the preset on new devices during the sale. At the moment, 285 applications can get to the catalog, mainly service in categories of a mandatory preset: social networks, government applications, online cinemas, and now applications leading banks.

The presence of an alternative store is not a bad solution at all, but even useful. Developers will access the service with lower commissions, users - access to programs that have become not available in foreign stores.
