Apple purges apps without contact info from EU app store, as DSA deadline hits | TechCrunch
Briefly

Apple has enforced the EU's Digital Services Act, necessitating that app developers disclose contact details to consumers. As of February 18, 2025, apps without verified 'trader status' have been removed from the App Store. The regulation primarily impacts smaller developers, who have traditionally not publicized such information. The DSA mandates any app generating revenue is considered a 'trader' and requires compliance by listing an associated address, phone number, and email for consumer transparency.
Organizations publishing apps on the EU App Store must now provide their D-U-N-S Number details, ensuring transparency in trader status with contact information.
