      They’re just trying to do malicious compliance, but I have a vague memory that they’re already getting flak from the EU for it – how Apple handled the 3rd party store stuff was so blatantly clearly not in the spirit of the Digital Markets Act

      I was questioning this, when i first tried Altstore PAL. As it stands now, you pay a buck for the “technology fee”, and get access to a severely crippled app store, that currently serves a grand total of two applications.

      Calling this malicious compliance would be an understatement.

      If you think that’s ever going to change I have news for you. Apple will 100% exit the EU before they allow anyone else to sign apps.

        Europe is one of the richest regions, why would they leave money on the table.

          Because if regulations get too onerous there’s no point to chasing the money if it erodes your core business model. Just leave.
