Brazil's antitrust regulator Cade has mandated that Apple eliminate restrictions on in-app purchases within 20 days, sparking a significant change in its payment processing policies that could affect app developers.
The ruling is a direct result of a complaint from e-commerce merchant Mercado Libre, highlighting evolving regulatory scrutiny on Apple's App Store policies and the growing push for payment processing autonomy among developers.
Apple's restrictions are increasingly being challenged globally, as regulators in various regions push for greater flexibility in payment options for app developers, indicating a shift away from Apple's closed ecosystem.
This decision adds Brazil to a growing list of markets where Apple now has to consider third-party payment options, reflecting a broader trend towards more competitive app economies.
