It encourages experts/researchers to work with Android developers and find vulunerabilities in apps.Google will pay $1000 apart from the bounty third-parties apps might pay.
So far apps likes, Alibaba, Snapchat, Duolingo, Line, Dropbox, Headspace, Mail.ru and Tinder have managed to make some space in Google’s new Play Security reward program. So, finally, it looks like Google has begun to take the right path to secure their Play Store by offering rewards to independent researchers.
Google on its App Security page stated: "Through the program, we will further improve app security which will benefit Android developers, Android users, and the entire Google Play Environment."
