Complying with the Digital Markets Act
Apple’s Efforts to Protect User Security
and Privacy in the European Union
…Starting this year, the European Union’s new Digital Markets Act (DMA)
requires us to take a new approach in our work to serve our EU users.
To comply with the DMA, we have created new options for developers and users—
and built over 600 new APIs and developer tools to enable these changes. The
new options include enabling sideloading so that EU users can download apps
through app marketplaces other than the App Store, enabling alternative ways to
process payments on the App Store, and many other changes.
This required us
to change the uniquely successful approach that we’ve employed to protect users’
security and privacy and keep them safe. ..
