Hold onto your app stores, folks! The EU is eyeing Apple Maps and Ads for 'gatekeeper' designation under the DMA. Apple says, "Who, us? We're tiny!" while simultaneously dominating. Classic.

Do these regulations actually promote competition, or just give legal teams more billable hours? Discuss!

The EU says Apple Maps may be big enough to be considered a DMA gatekeeper

Two more Apple products, specifically Maps and Ads, could be big enough to be designated as gatekeepers under the European Unionโ€™s Digital Markets Act (DMA)...

White House slams the EU's $570M Apple fine as 'economic extortion', arguing the DMA unfairly targets US tech. Apple is appealing amid rising US-EU trade tensions. #Apple #EUDMA #TechRegulation
Ouch. The EU just slapped Apple & Meta with nearly $800M in fines combined, the first under the new Digital Markets Act. Apple broke steering rules; Meta pushed ad consent too hard. Both are appealing.

After almost two month long review process, Apple has rejected UTM SE from the iOS App Store as well as from notarization for third party app stores. Their reasoning is that rule 4.7 which Apple recently introduced that allows for Delta, PPSSPP, and other emulators to be allowed does NOT apply to UTM SE. The App Store Review Board determined that "PC is not a console" regardless of the fact that there are retro Windows/ DOS games for the PC that UTM SE can be useful in running. Additionally, Apple's stance is that UTM SE is not allowed on third party marketplaces either because rule 4.7 also applies to Notarization Review Guidelines.

We will adhere by Apple's content and policy decision because we believe UTM SE (which does not have JIT) is a subpar experience and isn't worth fighting for (see https://oatmealdome.me/blog/why-dolphin-isnt-coming-to-the-app-store/). We do not wish to invest any additional time or effort trying to get UTM SE in the App Store or third party stores unless Apple changes their stance.

I'm not too surprised that Apple rejected this for their app store, but the fact that they won't allow this in the third party market place is an abuse of power...

Update #1
It's weird that Apple says that rule 4.7 applies to third party marketplaces, since it does not have the key icon.

Update #2

From [email protected]:

Update: Apple has reached out and clarified that the notarization was rejected under rule 2.5.2 and that 4.7 is an exception that only applies to App Store apps (but which UTM SE does not qualify for).

This makes more sense to why UTM SE was rejected (for third party marketplaces), but I still think this is an abuse of power

For context, here is what rule 2.5.2 says:

[2.5.2] ๐Ÿ”‘ Apps should be self-contained in their bundles, and may not read or write data outside the designated container area, nor may they download, install, or execute code which introduces or changes features or functionality of the app, including other apps. Educational apps designed to teach, develop, or allow students to test executable code may, in limited circumstances, download code provided that such code is not used for other purposes. Such apps must make the source code provided by the app completely viewable and editable by the user.
