Not if the EU has anything to say about it. Apple is already in trouble for requiring prompts for 3rd party vendors, and you know that already.
Same for entitlements.
- roblabla 2y ago> Apple is already in trouble for requiring prompts for 3rd party vendors Well yeah, they're specifically in trouble for requiring prompts *only for 3rd party vendors*. The problem is that Apple treats their own platform differently. There would be _no issue_ with a prompt if the apple watch required it too. Case in point: Apple Maps has the same localisation prompt as Google Maps, and as such, there is no regulatory problems here. Entitlements are a lot more complicated, and here the DMA isn't very clear about whether or not it's acceptable or not - it's really up to the regulator.
