Developers now required to provide public data for EU App Store
As of today, developers are required to provide their public trader data in order to submit new apps or updates to the App Store. Otherwise, they won’t be able to do so. Apple says that developers who don’t submit their public address and phone number by February 17, 2025 will have their apps removed from the App Store in the EU.
Many developers are unhappy about as they don’t have a specific phone number or address for their work and will have to provide their personal data. Unfortunately, there’s not much Apple can do about it as it’s only complying with the EU.
With developers in the EU now required to share public contact details, they will very likely to be faced with customer support requests. It will be interesting to see how they handle this probability.
