They’ll also need to agree to a number of key undertakings, as outlined by Apple:
- Be enrolled in the Apple Developer Program as an organization incorporated, domiciled, and or registered in the EU (or have a subsidiary legal entity incorporated, domiciled, and or registered in the EU that’s listed in App Store Connect). The location associated with your legal entity is listed in your Apple Developer account.
- Be a member of good standing in the Apple Developer Program for two continuous years or more, and have an app that had more than one million first annual installs on iOS in the EU in the prior calendar year.
- Only offer apps from your developer account.
- Be responsive to communications from Apple regarding your apps distributed through Web Distribution, particularly regarding any fraudulent, malicious, or illegal behavior, or anything else that Apple believes impacts the safety, security, or privacy of users.
- Publish transparent data collection policies and offer users control over how their data is collected and used.
- Follow applicable laws of the jurisdictions where you operate (for example, the Digital Services Act, the General Data Protection Regulation, and consumer protection laws).
- Be responsible for handling governmental and other requests to take down listings of apps
What a joke.
That second one is the exact reason they disabled and reinstated Epic. It reset the two year clock on “good standing”
Except for the fact that the account was reinstated after mere days than it was opened
Only after EU told them that shit was not going to work.
Yes, but that isn’t a valid point by the original commenter
I would like to know who on which team is responsible for these rules at Apple
Sounds like the EU needs to get a bigger stick.
Sounds like people who don’t like it would be happier on android. Oh well.
I still don‘t see how these rules allow an fdroid like App Store. That is imo, what is really needed.
