npub1carpg73ekh6qlv80pwvwxjmxsxfdw7n37wuns8acsalxcnazqa7sryg4j0 (npub1car…g4j0) the compliance requirements are actually quite straightforward: whoever is a gatekeeper according to the DMA (and that btw may soon include may employer too, so it’s nothing personal against Apple) have to open up their platforms in order to prevent monopoly consolidation.
It definitely applies to Android too - which already supports 3rd-party stores and PWAs installed through other browsers btw.
KaiOS or PostmarketOS don’t have to comply because those definitely don’t meet the bar for being considered gatekeepers, but they may have to in a hypothetical future where they grow their market share to reach that bar.
Compliance is a consequence of success.
I like to rephrase that as “with great power comes great responsibility”.
Btw, as I was writing this post I just noticed that Apple just published a list of requirements for “Web browser entitlement” on iOS - which involves allowing users to set your browser as the default on iOS.
There’s a very lengthy process involved apparently, and I’m really wondering how much of it can be actually enforced and how much of it exists just to create enough friction to discourage major adoption.
Anyway, it’s at least a step forward compared to their previous stances.
