EU App Store Changes Now Available in iPadOS 18 Beta 2

Apple's changes to App Store regulations in the EU are now available in iPadOS 18 beta 2. The company informed developers of the update earlier today.

The changes for apps in the European Union (EU), currently available to iOS users in the 27 EU member countries, can now be tested in iPadOS 18 beta 2 with Xcode 16 beta 2.

Also, the Web Browser Engine Entitlement Addendum for Apps in the EU and Embedded Browser Engine Entitlement Addendum for Apps in the EU now include iPadOS. If you've already entered into either of these addendums, be sure to sign the updated terms.


Developers can more about the recent changes here:
● Web Distribution
● Alternative marketplaces
● Alternative browser engines

Notably, the EU announced today that it views these changes as not sufficient to comply with the Digital Markets Act. The EU has opened numerous investigations into Apple's non-compliance and could levy heavy fines against the company once those investigations are complete.
