I read the legislation, included in the link (https://data.consilium.europa.eu/doc/document/PE-17-2022-INIT/en/pdf https://data.consilium.europa.eu/doc/document/PE-17-2022-INI...). Page 129, for example, details the rules for app and app store installation:
>The gatekeeper shall allow and technically enable the installation and effective use of
third-party software applications or software application stores using, or interoperating
with, its operating system and allow those software applications or software application
stores to be accessed by means other than the relevant core platform services of that
gatekeeper. The gatekeeper shall, where applicable, not prevent the downloaded third-party
software applications or software application stores from prompting end users to decide
whether they want to set that downloaded software application or software application
store as their default. The gatekeeper shall technically enable end users who decide to set
that downloaded software application or software application store as their default to carry
out that change easily.
- SheinhardtWigCo 4y agoIt's odd that this extremely important component is omitted from the press release.
- Gareth321 4y agoI agree. The press summary is very concise, and omits some of the most impactful parts. Previous reports on this legislation provide more details: https://www.theverge.com/2022/3/25/22996248/apple-sideloading-apps-store-third-party-eu-dma-requirement https://www.theverge.com/2022/3/25/22996248/apple-sideloadin...
