Apple wipes App Store apps lacking EU trader status
Briefly

Apple has commenced removing apps from the App Store in the EU that do not comply with the Digital Services Act (DSA) requirements for 'trader status.' This necessitates developers to provide their contact information, such as physical address and phone number. Failure to do so has resulted in app removals until verification is completed. This move underscores the EU’s emphasis on transparency and accountability for app developers, emphasizing the need for compliance regarding revenue-generating applications, a requirement applying even to in-app purchases and ads.
As of today, apps without trader status have been removed from the App Store in the European Union (EU) until trader status is provided and verified by Apple.
The enforcement stems from provisions introduced under the DSA, which requires platforms like the App Store to display key contact details for developers distributing applications online.
