Apparently, once you sell in a non-Apple app store - you can't go back. Not just for the app in question; You, as a developer, can never sell in an Apple EU App Store ever again. Not even unrelated apps.

Still appealing?

"Developers who adopt the new business terms at any time will not be able to switch back to Apple’s existing business terms for their EU apps."

See "Why is Apple giving developers two options for business terms in the EU?" https://developer.apple.com/support/dma-and-apps-in-the-eu/#...



It is a bit strange and I don't understand how they mean it. What are "EU apps"?

What's the motivation for this rule? One can "just" create a new company, no?


EU apps are apps sold in the EU by EU developers.

The motivation seems to be to make it less appealing to the vast majority of developers :-)

I’m not sure if that’s a viable work around or not.


The new business terms still allow access to list apps on the Apple EU App Store. But they allow other app stores as well.
