Apple's New Developer Empowerment
Software developers utilizing Apple's App Store will now have the option to distribute apps directly from their websites, a move in compliance with the European Union's Digital Markets Act.
Key Changes
- Direct Distribution: Developers can now offer apps to EU users from their sites.
- Alternative Stores: EU rules require Apple to allow alternative app stores on iPhones.
- Payment Flexibility: Developers can opt out of Apple's in-app payment system, avoiding fees up to 30%.
This strategic shift by Apple aims to provide more flexibility and control to developers operating in the EU.
