Apple has announced changes to its iOS App Store in the EU that are intended to comply with the Digital Markets Act. While Apple describes these changes as positive, many developers see them as an example of “malicious compliance.” One major issue for developers is the introduction of a “Core Technology Fee” that is charged on each “first install annually” for apps with over a million users. This means that developers could end up paying a significant portion of their revenue to Apple, even if Apple doesn’t distribute the app or process payments. These changes come at a crucial time as Apple launches its new product, Apple Vision Pro, which relies heavily on developer support. However, the new terms risk alienating developers and damaging developer goodwill.
