I wonder how this will work where apple controls the OS and sort of controls the Dev tools.

The gatekeeper shall not be prevented from taking proportionate measures to ensure that third party software applications or software application stores do not endanger the integrity of the hardware or operating system provided by the gatekeeper;

To me that sounds like they won’t have to offer root access to users, which is no suprise, but will they be able to continue to require certification of apps, even if they’re sold on other stores?

I’ve only just skimmed the legislation so far.
