  I really hope the EU doesn’t find this “compliance” good enough - it’s absolutely not free sideloading of apps like on Android, or any PC ever. It’s pretty much the App Store, but with a smaller fee for a while and with Apple wasting less money on server costs.

    I’m sure they don’t. Had they just gone with the “we can block your app for security reasons and want to see it first”, they might have. But requiring developer accounts, preapproval, payment etc, that isn’t allowing sideloading at all, it’s just an Apple app store in a trenchcoat.

  Queue years of lawsuits until they actually comply with EU law.

      I hope all Erasmus trips in the next year are funded by Apple

      I’m hoping apple just isn’t allowed to do business in the EU, then their company fails

  If Apple can revoke or have wahtever last word on these store can publish then it’s not open, especially if third party stores need to pay a commission while doing all the hard work.

  So they want developers to pay for the privilege of paying for their app’s download hosting?

  I really hope someone in the EU is getting as pissed at this as I am.

  Did they really just pull a Unity move with charging per download??

  This is not going to be good for any developers that sit in that danger zone of offering a free app with in-app purchases. If they don’t make enough money (over €500k) once they hit that 1 million download threshold… they could owe more money than they make.

  So they’re not allowing downloads from third party sites, they’re making a distributed CDN.

  All of this is pointless until they stop requiring “notarization”.
