THE VERGE - Apple must allow dating app developers to offer non-Apple payment systems for in-app purchases or face a hefty fine, according to a detailed ruling released today from the Netherlands Authority for Consumers and Markets (ACM). The regulator has been investigating the company's App Store practices since 2019, but Reuters reports that it decided to focus on dating apps after receiving a complaint from Match Group. This decision doesn't apply to other app categories, like games or productivity apps, in the country. If the company fails to do so by January 15th, it faces a 5M Euro-per-week fine, up to a maximum of 50M Euros.
