Apple wins Apple Watch antitrust lawsuit with AliveCor
San Francisco: Apple is reportedly planning to impose fees and restrictions on developers who offer the ability to sideload their apps in the European Union (EU).
App sideloading will allow users to download apps from outside the App Store for the first time, but only within the EU. The change is necessitated by the EU's Digital Markets Act (DMA), which is set to take effect in the coming weeks.
According to MacRumors, Apple intends to abide with EU law while maintaining strict control over the programmes downloaded from sources other than the App Store.
The news was first reported by The Wall Street Journal.
The tech giant has not yet disclosed its final plans to comply with this aspect of the DMA.
