Apple is being forced in the Netherlands to allow developers to show their customers non-Apple payment platforms for certain apps.
The only caveat is that according to, Apple is doing this in the Netherlands only, and only for developers of dating apps. On Sunday, a ruling made last month by the country's Authority for Consumers and Markets kicked in forcing Apple to allow developers to use other in-app payment systems instead of Apple's own platform.
In that case, Epic Games informed users of its popular Fortnite game about Epic's in-house payment system that would save Fortnite players 20% on the purchase of V bucks, the virtual currency used with the game. Apple was not happy about this and kicked the game and the developer out of the App Store and Google followed for the same reason.
Friday's announcement by the ACM was the first public statement made about the regulator's decision even though Reuters said back in October that the ACM had found Apple's actions anti-competitive. Apple was given until Saturday to comply with the order and faced fines of $56.6 million if it failed to follow the ACM's orders.Tinder parent Match was overjoyed with the ruling.
