  Why would they need to comply with Apple’s ToS to publish apps outside of the app store?

    I think Apple still manages third party app stores too. And there will be rules. If this was totally without rules or terms, then it would just mean it’s wide open. It wouldn’t mean there was a new alternative App Store system.

      It being totally without rules or terms is exactly what the EU demanded.

        That is just not true. The DMA asks for bans on self-favoritism, regulations on data use and data interoperability to bans on discrimination and over all fair conditions. This far from without rules or terms.

        Interesting. So the stuff about a letter of credit or the App Store download number requirements are both not being enforced?

        Sandboxing isn’t a requirement for apps or anything else?

        I can just make a side loading App Store and invent new app types and software types for iOS and install them how ever I like as an App Store owner?

    They would, because if they make an App Store, there is an agreement that they have to sign, basically paying Apple a bunch of fees every time anyone downloads soemthing
