Is there any reason for google to allow this in their play store ? Serious question here, i cannot think of apple allowing the same kind of an app for google in app store...

Well, contrary to on iOS, Apple could just distribute the APK themselves. Which, of course, demonstrates why you shouldn't use the tool to begin with.

I wouldn't blame google for blocking this unless Apple allowed them to build a similar app for moving data the opposite direction

You notice Google maps, that failure of an Application, is available on the App Store, along with Google Now, Google Earth and lots of other apps from Google.

The idea that Apple won't let google applications on their store is just google zealot paranoid fantasy.

Hell, Apple's bringing Apple Music to android. It's treating it like a real platform.

"Google Maps for mobile is the world's most popular app for smartphones, with over 54% of global smartphone owners using it at least once during the month of August 2013.[3]"

I think your bias might be showing?
