Apple makes changes to App Store after EU warning

Economic Times · 7m

Apple has announced changes to its App Store in response to accusations from the European Union (EU) that it violated the bloc's new digital regulations. The EU claimed that Apple's App Store terms hindered developers from directing users to alternative payment methods. Apple said it would modify its practices to comply with the EU's Digital Markets Act (DMA), allowing developers in the EU to communicate and promote offers wherever they want. However, developers will now have to pay a five-percent fee on sales made through links outside the app. Failure to comply with the DMA could result in fines for Apple.
