Upcoming requirements for app distribution in the European Union
August 15, 2024
As a reminder, Account Holders or Admins in the Apple Developer Program need to enter trader status in App Store Connect for apps on the App Store in the European Union (EU) in order to comply with the Digital Services Act.
Please note these new dates and requirements:
- October 16, 2024: Trader status will be required to submit app updates. If you’re a trader, you’ll need to provide your trader information before you can submit your app for review.
- February 17, 2025: Apps without trader status will be removed from the App Store in the EU until trader status is provided and verified.
