from the House antitrust subcommittee provides a thorough look into the troubles app developers say they have encountered in recent years — challenging Apple's argument that it creates a fair and level playing field for all app makers.
"Apple's ban on rival app stores and alternative payment processing locks out competition, boosting Apple's profits from a captured ecosystem of developers and consumers," the report reads. In the example, an app maker sent customers an email with a link that would enable users to upgrade to a paid subscription through the developer's own website rather than Apple's payments system. Apple responded by threatening to remove their app from the App Store and blocking updates, the report says.
Phillip Shoemaker, Apple's former director of App Store review, said in an interview with the subcommittee that the tech giant favors its own apps over those from developers. Shoemaker pointed out that apps competing with Apple's services generally encounter problems in the App Store, pointing to Google's Stadia game streaming service as an example.
Apple refuted the accusations and conclusions outlined in the report, reiterating its previous stance that it does not hold a monopoly and that its rules are designed to enforce security, privacy, and trustworthiness in the App Store.
