@stroughtonsmith It's great they're looking at interoperability hard but the question to me is whether the EU will allow Apple to keep the per-app-install fee to developers when apps are installed through a third-party store. As long as that stays the platform remains radioactive as far as I'm concerned
@mcc @stroughtonsmith The European Commission certainly doesn't like it, they opened proceedings about it in June. They have 5 open proceedings against Apple (and 3 against other companies under the DMA):
- DMA.100109 about restrictions on in-app purchases for apps distributed through the app store
- DMA.100185 about not being able to uninstall Safari
- DMA.100206 about the "core technology fee" charged to developers
- DMA.100203 about "features for connected physical devices"
- DMA.100204 about the horrible interoperability request process.
The only public things related to any of these are the recent public comments on DMA.10203 and DMA.100204, as seen in this thread, but hopefully they'll move forward on the other proceedings in 2025.
