iOS 17 to Support App Sideloading to Comply With European Regulations
Otherwise known as sideloading, the change would allow customers to download apps without needing to use the App Store, which would mean developers wouldn’t need to pay Apple’s 15 to 30 percent fees.
The European Union’s Digital Markets Act (DMA), which went into effect on November 1, 2022, requires “gatekeeper” companies to open up their services and platforms to other companies and developers.
The DMA will have a big impact on Apple’s platforms, and it could result in Apple making major changes to the App Store, Messages, FaceTime, Siri, and more. Apple is planning to implement sideloading support to comply with the new European regulations by next year, according to Gurman.
Apple has claimed that sideloading will “undermine the privacy and security protections” that iPhone users rely on, leaving people vulnerable to malware, scams, data tracking, and other issues. However, Apple must comply with the DMA or it risks fines of as much as 20 percent of its global revenue if the EU laws are violated.
In a December 2022 report Gurman said Apple was considering implementing security requirements such as verification, a process that it could charge a fee for in lieu of collecting money from app sales. Apple has a verification system on Mac that allows users to be safe while giving them access to apps outside of the Mac App Store.
If other countries introduce similar legislation, alternate app stores could expand beyond the European Union. The United States, for example, is considering legislation that would require Apple to allow sideloading.

Brit tourist caught deadly dengue fever in top European hotspot
A BRIT holidaymaker has caught the deadly jungle bug, dengue fever, in the south of France.
Medics revealed a 44-year-old woman was infected with the virus on a family trip close to Nice in September.

Mosquitoes are responsible for spreading dengue fever[/caption]
She went to A&E in the UK with a three-day fever, pains and a rash but later made a full recovery.
Dengue is most often found in tropical countries like Vietnam and Brazil.
But global warming means the mosquitoes that spread the dengue virus are comfortable coming further north, with cases set to rise in future.
French health officials warned of an outbreak in the country’s south last year.
Dr Owain Donnelly, from London’s Hospital for Tropical Diseases, said the spread of the illness is “rapidly changing”.
He said: “Hotter temperatures and more rainfall, and increasing global trade and tourism, mean we may see more parts of Europe with the right combination of factors for dengue outbreaks.”
The virus causes fever, headache, muscle and joint pains, vomiting and a blotchy rash.
It usually heals on its own but around five per cent of cases are severe and can be deadly.
Around 50million people per year are infected with dengue, mainly in Asia, Central and South America and the Caribbean.
It does not spread between people but is carried by the Asian tiger mosquito, which is on the rise in Europe.
Speaking at the European Congress of Clinical Microbiology & Infectious Diseases, Dr Donnelly added: “Physicians should consider testing for dengue if patients live in or have visited countries even where it is not widespread.”
