Apple’s recent announcement regarding Apple EU iOS Changes marks a significant shift in how developers within the European Union can distribute apps. These changes, aimed at enhancing developer flexibility and improving user experience, come as part of Apple’s compliance efforts with the Digital Markets Act (DMA). Let’s delve into the specifics of these updates and what they mean for developers and users alike.
Apple EU iOS Changes
Apple’s latest announcement brings significant changes to iOS for developers within the European Union. The update enables developers to distribute apps directly from webpages, customize in-app promotions, and more.
Establishing Custom App Stores
Under the Apple EU iOS Changes, developers now have the option to establish their own app stores within iOS, exclusively offering their own apps or a curated selection.
Customizing In-App Promotions
Moreover, developers can customize in-app promotions when directing users to complete transactions on their websites. Apple’s predefined templates are now optional.
Distribution from Developer Websites
Furthermore, developers meeting specific criteria, such as membership in the Apple Developer Program for two continuous years and over one million first installs in the EU, can distribute apps directly from their websites. These apps must comply with Apple’s notarization requirements and can only be installed from registered web domains.
Digital Markets Act (DMA) Compliance
This initiative, part of Apple’s compliance with the Digital Markets Act (DMA) in the EU, introduces web distribution for app downloads directly from websites, revolutionizing app accessibility on iOS devices within the region.
