(Reuters) - Alphabet's Google has settled claims by dating app developer Match Group that it monopolized Android app distribution with its Play Store, leaving “Fortnite” maker Epic Games as the sole plaintiff in an antitrust trial against Google set to begin Nov. 6.

Match said in a filing in San Francisco federal court on Tuesday that it had resolved its allegations against Google.
