Yes, if you stay with the old business terms, you can only distribute your iOS apps on the App Store. If you agree to the new business terms, you can distribute them on the App Store, on alternative app marketplaces, or both. I think that&#

The installation of apps from alternative app marketplaces is entirely controlled by Apple and iOS, and can only be done via a set of new APIs called AppLibrary [1]. That will make it very easy for Apple to track installs. [1] https:/

Apple stated "App Store revenue generated $1.1 trillion in developer billings and sales in 2022, 90% of which was commission-free." [1] 10% was not commission-free. App Store commissions are between 15% and 30% depending on the si

If you can find specific numbers on Apple's profit from the App Store , I would be very interested to see them. Of course Apple's total profit is public information, but they don't break it down so specifically. The best I c

They may not like it, but the question is: is it actually illegal under the new DMA regulations as they are currently written? The DMA is 66 pages of legalese, otherwise I would have read it to find out: https://eur-lex.europa.eu
