Apple introduced new rules that ostensibly loosen its control over the App Store .

Local developers are seething at the new system, which they say entrenches the power Apple already wields over their businesses.

They’re now breaking into a rare open revolt, mounting pressure on lawmakers to step in.

Apple maintains its changes are compliant with the DMA while also being necessary to protect its EU users’ devices from the security risks that, it says, are introduced by the new law.

App developers hope their criticism will force the European Commission , a branch of the EU ’s government, to take action.
