Spotify Accuses Apple of Stalling App Update Showing EU-Mandated Subscription Info
- Spotify submitted an app update to show EU users subscription pricing and website links per recent EC antitrust decision, but Apple has not responded in over 9 days
- Spotify says Apple's lack of response conflicts with its 24 hour app review claim and EC compliance timeline
- Ruling is separate from EU's Digital Markets Act allowing Spotify to distribute its app outside the App Store while paying fees
- Spotify has not clarified if it adopted Apple's new DMA terms for in-app promotions, discounts, and deals
- Spotify asked the European Commission to make Apple approve the app update showing pricing and links
