Google has asked not to challenge Epic's decision to open the Play Store to third-party app stores.
In the petition, the corporation demanded that the deadlines allocated for opening the Android OS to competitors be extended.
In early October, a federal judge in San Francisco ruled that Google's anticompetitive practices in the Play Store were illegal, Android Authority reports.
Google's petition emphasizes that the required changes affect the security and privacy of millions of Android users.
Their hasty introduction may result in unforeseen problems.
This comes after game publisher Epic won a lawsuit against the IT giant demanding that it lift its monopoly on the distribution of Android apps.
Google said it intends to appeal the decision and demanded that the decision to open the OS be taken slowly.
The company said the court had given it just three weeks to make Android and its services available to competitors.
Google's lawyers believe the move could lead to security breaches in the Android ecosystem.
That's why the company is in no hurry to make Android transparent and has asked for a delay.
Google has asked the Court of Appeal to halt changes to Android and Google Play pending an appeal of the main decision.
