AIUI, the law puts restrictions on "traders", ie businesses, people making a revenue, integrating ads etc.
A free FLOSS app would be exempt from these requirements under the DSA. Apple and Google don't make a difference betwren commercial and non-commercial publishers, so in this sense they both do malicious compliance.
In theory. In practice Germany requires your private non-commercial web page to have Impressum and there is an army of legal trolls who would destroy you for not having one.

I guess the same will happen with signed apps.
No, your private non-commercial web page doesn't need an Impressum AFAIK. Once you add ads to generate (small) income, it becomes commercial, though.
