I believe they cannot use HTTP, only HTTPS. However, I'm unsure whether they can disable certificate verification. Presumably not, for the same reason...

I think it was apple that forced the use of HTTPS in app APIs, not Google.

I don't believe android apps are locked to HTTPS as a rule, though obviously a lot of them likely don't have fallbacks.
