The company has been secretly working to comply with the DMA since last year.Īpple’s VP of Software Craig Federighi acknowledged last year that the company will have to comply with EU legislation. Third-party apps will also be allowed to use third-party payment platforms for in-app purchases. The DMA requires Apple to allow developers to distribute their iOS apps outside the App Store. There will be one version for EU countries and another for the rest of the world. Sideloading coming to iOS users in the EUĪccording to Bloomberg’s Mark Gurman, Apple is expected to roll out the update that will enable sideloading for iPhone and iPad users in Europe “in the coming weeks.” Interestingly, Gurman says that due to these changes, the App Store will be split in two. Apple is yet to reveal how exactly it will comply with the legislation, but the company reportedly plans to do so very soon. The EU’s Digital Markets Act antitrust legislation passed last year will force Apple to allow users to install third-party apps from outside the iOS App Store, a process known as sideloading.
