    The issue is that from what I’ve read it is very likely that Apple will simply create a new kind of Enterprise certificate that allows you to sign and install apps without the store but it won’t be available to the general public. Most likely only registered companies that are willing to pay a lot of money for it.

      lol of course the EU is gonna crack that shit down. The law is directly targeting Apple, there won’t be any loopholes.

      It just that Apple is gonna make absolutely no fuss about it and silently allow only devices registered in here to side load. Looking forward to it.

        Not sure of they will… or at least in a reasonable time. I didn’t see anything on the law that made what I was suggestion illegal, only annoying but compliant with some imagination and allegations of security…

      The DMA explicitly forbids that. There must be no cost, and no barriers to distributing apps to iOS users. Apple cannot, for example, force developers to sign up with Apple, pay additional fees, or use special certificates.

        Further, the EU operates under the principle of “spirit of the law,” as opposed to the US,

        But required a non corrupt judge and a company the size of Apple’s is going to sure to spend a few bucks here and there…

          True but I feel confident the European Commission has excellent oversight. In this case the law is written so clearly that any attempt by a corrupt judge to provide Apple with dispensation would be immediately caught.
