Apple to court developers at WWDC 2019 after criticism of App store being a walled garden

Firstpost  

Apple has maintained that its tight control of the store allows it to protect user privacy. Apple is set to court software savants at its annual developers conference beginning Monday while contending with criticism that the iPhone maker has made its App Store a walled garden. “We only collect a commission from developers when a digital good or service is delivered through an app,” Apple said in a page recently established in defense of the App Store. In May’s 5-4 Supreme Court ruling, the justices rejected Apple’s argument that consumers lacked standing to proceed with their lawsuit because the tech giant was merely an intermediary with app developers. Spotify filed a formal complaint with the EU Commission taking issue with restrictions that Apple places on apps that don’t use the App Store payment system.
