Apple Mandates EU Developers to Display Contact Info on App Store
In compliance with the EU's Digital Services Act, Apple now requires app developers to provide public contact details for App Store listings.
- Apple has enforced a new requirement for developers in the EU to disclose a phone number and address on the App Store.
- This change aligns with the EU's Digital Services Act, which mandates online platforms to verify and display trader contact information.
- Developers must submit their trader status and contact details through App Store Connect by February 17, 2025, or face app removal.
- The requirement applies to developers generating revenue through app sales or in-app purchases, classifying them as 'traders' under EU law.
- Independent developers express concerns over privacy, as many lack dedicated business contact details and must use personal information.
