Apple is considered a "gatekeeper" according to the Digital Markets Act. That means they need to open up until 6 March 2024.
Resolves YES if there is an alternative app to Apple's AppStore which is as easy to install and use. E.g. no need to know about IPA files.
Resolves NO in April.
Reducing the availability of an app store EU countries is possible and would still resolve to YES.

@esusatyo Opening it up is not enough, so today it would be a NO. It seems Apple's fee deterrence seems to work so far.
predicted YES
@ClaudineC Yes. Regional (non-) availability is nothing unusual. Thanks for the hint!
