android - Is there a good reason we should not always use Google API SDK? -
so far, used regular sdk in projects, , used google api sdk when project utilize of google's feature.
i wondering there reason should not use google api sdk?
there devices without google services installed. in case google api not available. not using google api sdk, app can still run on these devices.
e.g. consider kindle fire, doesn’t have play store installed, various low-budget tablets , chinese phones. custom builds open-source code such cyanogenmod don’t have google apps installed (although many users add them manually).
although android open-source, google apps require vendor license google. know because custom builds asked google not include apps. having own store instead of play store attractive manufacturers because share of revenue instead of letting google have profits. why not devices have them.
