Apple is not actually new in the warning messages that are visible next to the EU’s App Store lists using third-party payment systems.
According to A number of recent reportsApple added a warning with a red exclamation mark, as it does not use its “personal and secure payment system” next to the applications he found. The message is designed to avoid using foreign payment mechanisms, as users are allowed within the Digital Markets Law (DMA).
However, the iPhone Maker confirmed that in March 2024 in March 2024, on this user disclosure screens on this user disclosure screens are live in the EU’s app store. Some were not added again in a new way.
It is understandable that there is concern on warning screens taking into account that Apple only gave a great loss in court to Fortnite Maker Epic games. The court decision forced Apple to the Apple’s Apple Commission to pay the commission to foreign payment. The company attracted this decision, and most likely, the EU warnings suspected of EU warnings were part of a kind of revenge plan. Maybe the company wanted to send a message to the developers who do not give up commissions without war?
But the screens are not new, another explanation is in order.
The confusion stems from the head Post-winning post on social network Monday. Post, a message warning users shows a list of an app store for an EU based application called InstaCar “[T]Its application does not support the App Store’s personal and secure payment system. Uses external purchases. “
The focus message also shows a link that users can tap to “learn more.”
“Seeing this for the first time,” Heydan VICtoral Darij noted that the warning screen. “Apple will punish programs with an external payment system [sic]”
Maric’s post was approved by thousands of X user and was also shown in the mobile developer society, including the mobile developer. Not surprisingly, most of them do not care about the message, called it “harmful compatibility” and Apple’s “legal” behavior.
Aside, the user disclosure screen itself is not new.
Apple pointed to us Revenuecat CEO Jacob Missing X WritingAnswering Direct Maric, explicitly, the EU’s EU was only and “been around for a while.”
For example, because people see these warnings because these warnings see these warnings, as it is concerned about the external shopping choice of the EU’s DMA permission. (Apple has critics The company called the DMA matching plan As confusing and filled with “malicious payments”, in-app means makeup for lost commissions in app purchases.)
In response to TechCrunch, Apple also noted that he intends to update the message after the initial recovery. In August 2024, the company announced a number of changes to the DMA plan, which includes a change in the user disclosure screen. Instead of warning using foreign procurement, it would read a new message: “This application operations are supported by the developer and not apples.” (See below).
The Tech giant claims that the European Commission (EC) did not object to the updated message, but Apple instructed to inform any changes. Without the additional leadership, Apple has kept the existing screen.
