It was known that Apple would be working to comply with the EU’s requirement that it add sideloading, or third-party app stores. Now Apple has revealed that from March 2024, and the release of iOS 17, it will be adding new fees, new options for developers, and is working to maintain privacy safeguards for users.
“The changes we’re announcing today comply with the Digital Markets Act’s requirements in the European Union,” said Phil Schiller, Apple Fellow, “while helping to protect EU users from the unavoidable increased privacy and security threats this regulation brings.”
