Developers revolt against Apple's new App Store rules

Local developers in Europe are pushing back against Apple's new App Store rules, which they argue further entrench the tech giant's power over their businesses. These developers are accusing Apple of abusive and extortionary practices, claiming that the company holds app providers hostage by tightly controlling their access and taking a substantial portion of their profits. While the EU's Digital Markets Act (DMA) was expected to loosen Apple's control, developers express disappointment with the new terms. Despite the ostensibly more flexible rules, developers face restrictions and warnings that discourage them from moving away from Apple's payment systems and app store.
