Yandex is for sure a nice default, however, there are good alternatives also and I know that many people prefer other appstores.

It is a commercial agreement I think between Jolla and Yandex. Yandex is installed as default Android store but anyway it exists a lot of them across the web so you can just install the one you prefer. Anyway if you want to remove Yandex store, go to /data/app and remove com.yandex.store.apk or in terminal
devel-su
Type the password you defined in "Developer mode" menu, SSH paragraph. Then
rm /data/app com.yandex.store.apk
That's all. Android support should continue normally. You can also just copy out com.yandex.store.apk for reinstalling it later.
Edit: I have to precise that if you just delete Yandex Store and don't keep a copy of it and if you later want to reinstall it, you will probably have the idea of uninstalling and reinstalling Android Support. It's not a good idea cause you'll lose all data of your installed Android apps. So the solution I provide above is better in my opinion.

Found a solution. If you install 1Mobile.com Appstore there is ab Appmanager included. Menu at left side, there search for managing icon. Quick uninstall selection offer s Yandex also for deinstallation. Works.

Yandex is removable, but it is required for Android support.

Is Yandex still required if I've installed an alternative app store (eg. Google Play Store)? I can see why its installed automatically with Android support, but would have though it should be possible to remove it if the user installs an alternative Android app store.
