Now Apple says there will be changes to comply with the DMA and address the findings of the European Commission, the EU’s powerful antitrust regulator.
At the time, Brussels said developers could only steer customers through a link in their app that redirected the user to a web page to conclude any contracts.
Regulators said Apple placed “several restrictions,” meaning app developers could not communicate, promote offers and conclude contracts through the channel of their choice.
From the autumn, Apple said developers in the EU “can communicate and promote offers for purchases” wherever they want, for example, via an alternative app marketplace.
But in Thursday’s announcement, Apple said the changes mean developers will have a new fee structure for customers linking out of an app for offers and content.
