The Play Store app was updated today ā not once (v7.1.25 first) butĀ twice (thenĀ 7.2.13) ā and the latter version looks to be the one packing some great changes that we could come to see in action in next few days or weeks.
Hereās what we were able to scrape through the Play Store APK v7.2.13, is available download at the link provided.
Whatās New in Play Store 7.2.13 update
1. Audio description
Yup, it could soon happen that Play Store will speak out the appās description to you when you click on āMore infoā button. This button is not live on our Play Store yet, but this should come live pretty soon now that it has found its place in the app.
Hereās the new code snippet that lets us think that.
<string name=āread_more_audio_descriptionā>more info</string>
2. Filter options in Top charts
You could soon see an option in Play Store, which would allow you to filter out categories to be shown in Top charts. Second, it seems you can even mark the already installed apps within the top charts. Again, hereās the code for that.
<string name=ājpkr_mini_top_charts_category_spinner_labelā>Filter Option</string>
<string name=ājpkr_mini_top_charts_tooltip_textā>To see apps you already have, turn this on</string>
3. Instant Apps
The App streaming could be called Instant Apps, as their is a new code for that now in the Play Store. This code is responsible for that.
<string name=ādebug_instant_appsā>Instant Apps</string>
<string name=ādebug_instant_apps_summaryā>Install Instant Apps Supervisor</string>
4. Book series
Play Store will now mark the books so if itās part of a series, tapping on which will get you a list of whole of book series. This should appear in or near the description of the book.
<string name=āpe__content_description_book_seriesā>Book Series: %1$s</string>
5. Other changes
It seems Play Store will provide numerous extra options when you are setting up the device, to allow you to install apps over Mobile data, or wait for WiFi, and such.
<string name=āb_and_r_paused_notification_data_buttonā>Use mobile data</string>
<string name=āb_and_r_paused_notification_textā>Waiting for Wi-Fi to install apps</string>
<string name=āb_and_r_paused_notification_titleā>App installation paused</string>
<string name=āb_and_r_paused_notification_wifi_buttonā>Wait for Wi-Fi</string>
Even more options for when you are setting up new device, and are looking towards Play Store to install apps for you. It seems you will be able to specify which apps you want to install from your old device. The optional apps and essential apps loom to be great additions. Weāre yet to see anything from this Play Store live in action, so canāt get you more idea of it.
<string name=āsetup_wizard_ok_button_labelā>Ok</string>
<string name=āsetup_wizard_optional_apps_data_only_titleā>Apps will be downloaded when Wi-Fi is available</string>
<string name=āsetup_wizard_optional_apps_titleā>Apps will be downloaded over Wi-Fi</string>
<string name=āsetup_wizard_optional_preloads_section_titleā>Optional apps</string>
<string name=āsetup_wizard_preloads_no_connectionā>No WiFi or mobile data connection.</string>
<string name=āsetup_wizard_required_preloads_section_titleā>Essential apps</string>
Moreover, it has something related to phone recovery too. Hereās the code for that. Do let us know what you think of it.
<string name=āprompt_for_recovery_phone_textā>Your app is installing. In the meantime, add a phone number to your account. You can use your phone number to sign in to your Google Account, reset your password, and more.<br></string>
<string name=āprompt_for_recovery_phone_titleā>Add phone number</string>
