Developers fighting self-serving restrictions imposed on the web by tech giants. Help us end #AppleBrowserBan.
关于我们
We are a group of software engineers from all over the world who have come together to advocate for the future of the open web by providing regulators, legislators and policy makers the intricate technical details that they need to understand the major anti-competitive issues in our industry and how to solve them. The entire future of Application Development is at stake. Without regulatory or legislative change, we risk losing a universal, free and open, write once, deploy anywhere, application distribution and deployment system which will dramatically lower costs for businesses and consumers. Without these changes, funding will shift to proprietary ecosystems and gatekeepers can extract heavy taxes. It will lock in their control and reduce innovation for mobile apps for many years to come.

The UK bends the knee to the tech bros again, and replaces the Chair of the Competition and Markets Authority (CMA) with an ex-Amazon boss. Expect a reduced headcount at the CMA. This is very much an anti-growth, anti-business move. Competition and Markets Authority Financial Times

Apple is giving access to NFC and security functions in the first countries outside the EU - and probably that is no coincidence ? With the DMA, the EU forced Apple to grant access to the NFC function free of charge and by 11th July of 2024, the deal was finally closed for 10 years. ? Now the plot-twist: With iOS 18.1, Apple voluntarily plans to roll out NFC access in other countries such as Australia, Brazil, Canada, Japan, New Zealand, the U.K., and the U.S and more to come: This approach enables similar use cases that are also covered in the EU agreement, such as in-store payments, car keys, closed loop transit, corporate badges, home keys, hotel keys, merchant loyalty/rewards, and event tickets. However, whilst in the EU, Apple "only" offers NFC-payments via HCE-architecture, with this initiative Apple explicitly grants access to the Secure Element/Secure Enclave via dedicated APIs which will be offered soon. ? Yes, the commercial details for these new opportunities for App providers are not clarified yet. However, the timing allows the interpretation that there is a strategy behind this move. What will be the reaction by the EU and non-EU countries which are not listed yet? Dominik Siebert, Tobias Krück, Fabian Meyer
