Do we know what was the European Commission response to Apple "complying" to the DMA by allowing sideloading with notarization and fees?
As far as I can see, the latest developments are from April 2025 when the commision fined Apple 500M€ for non-compliance due to preventing developers to advertise their app being available on a third-party store.
The distribution term imposed on developers are a separate investigation that the one leading to the 500M€ fine. Preliminary view as of April 2025 is that Apple conditions are in breach of the DMA [1]. Apple has some time to reply.
Except fines to be coming soon. That’s why Trump is threatening the EU about IT firm compliance right now.
