I don't see how this isn't effectively an app store in itself. If Apple can forbid an app from running on user devices, then they need to approve every app that is installed. More importantly, they are effectively blackmailing developers to pay them "per install," which is only enforceable through the notarization process. That sounds an awful lot like an app store. I agree, the EU will not like this. Too bad it'll take another 3-5 years to fix.

  I didn't know "we" were lawyers here. I don't have any IOS devices, but I'm expecting maybe $50 (and I'm being generous) to come as a result of a similar lawsuit on Google over over-charging for IAPs.

    We Europeans in form of fines. I’m not talking about class actions. Completely different market.
