Gregory's Server@stevestreza in my experience a product can be ‘finished' and it may still take many months until all ‘compliance’ is done. The back and forth between ‘product’ and ‘legal/compliance’ is sometimes mind boggling and seems to be written by Kafka …
If I can release my product already in countries where the compliance requirements are simpler, I would choose to release them as early as possible.
@kontrafiktion Nope, at these companies, compliance is baked into the product process, because it HAS TO BE. And if it isn't, then it's arguably negligent on Apple's part to know a regulation existed and not accounting for it in development.
Compare this to GDPR, which also had heavy-handed regulations that can be reasonably complained about. Apple has no problem integrating those regulatory rules into their products from day one. Why? Because they know they will need to.
