Apple is obliged to profit from its exploitation system

It is in Article 6(7) of the Digital Market Act that the Commission imposes measures on iOS. If Apple reserves for its iOS potential, it is available for all our developments.

Apple has started to inform the communication about the development of what exists: they are connected to the functions or the control of iOS for the fact that the developers are “rêver” and are engaged in a production experience with the internal developers from Apple. No need to be a donner open source The iOS code is becoming more and more accessible, not just a batch, but the ensemble of iOS’s features. Working through the API (Application Program Interface), the connections are possible with the development of using iOS functions in the structure. The documentation for certain APIs is available for development. In general, Apple has stated that the caches are stored at the levels of unstable or transitory or cannot be used at risk to security and iOS integrity. However, there is no reason for Apple to hide its gatekeeper position in the DMA position. Using the API allows developers to use iOS for their own mobile applications, and the documentation may be more accurate than the API function, while the encore is not stabilized. This starts with a general description without diving into the details. Some developers have an ad hoc license and are members of the «Program Developers» signed and have access to certain information.

Aller plus loins containing the documentation

But it may not be enough to develop for a fair choice. The development introduced a requirement for interoperability and provided a detailed description of the description that Apple did not receive. Appel asks for a return for a développeur and pours it in a besoin. If you signed a non-disclosure agreement and Apple requested the option of denial whether you can maintain iOS integrity, Apple will be executed 30 days later.

The request for a development does not have to be done by e-mail, because a laisser trainer can facilitate it. There is a process that contains a detail on a web page, with a form for the color. Apple is very aware of the criticism of the use of the computer by a suite or not to the demand for interoperability. The process cannot be good: a point of contact with the development of an interagir for knowledge of us is. The development is a protégé for the fact that you get confidential information, dan le cas, imagine-t- on, or it is an idea of ​​development you cannot see that you are participating in the competition with your apple.

By the time the process of developing a new API plus customization is developed by Apple, its development may provide feedback. It is easy to give Apple a solution that fits on the porte or laissez base. Development contributes to the elaboration of the solution.

If Apple denies the request, a conciliation procedure will take place. Apple calls on independent conciliators to break through the most content development, but it is a choice. If conciliator can provide non-contraignant advice, focus primarily on the conflict development/Apple technique aspects. I think without commercial considerations I can refuse an API that offers an innovation that has a lot of value.

If you’ve found a new API, it’s available, it’s all accessible without restriction. In other terms, the development that calls for the first new API is exclusive. Anyway, the question Apple is asking isn’t the API you’re using.

Devices Apple connectés à l’IPhone

If the obligation to use the exploitation system is more spectacular, the Commission is no more than a paradigm that Apple can have the dialogue with iPhones: it is an example of notifications that iOS does not (anymore) have envoy that connects the devices to Apple. If you have a connection with another manufacturer, you can receive the reception. The apps on iPhone can also be used on a different plan to connect devices with iPhone notifications, such as on the go.

Intelligent écouteurs can make their connection with the iPhone when a newcomer arrives, if it concerns apple Automatic audio switching. Some Apple ecoteurs are equipped with the ability to receive a preemption signal from an iPhone. The connections per pair of WiFi without passer by an external reservation that can include two spare Apple devices, the Commission proposes. These connections send specific information about the transfer of large volumes and large amounts. If Airdrop and Airplay appear on non-Apple devices (where Airplay appears on certain non-Apple devices). Finally, the functionality of NFC is accessible to so many people without contact and it is possible to connect devices together over time. While the Wi-Fi connections work on the iPhone and some of Apple’s portable devices, connections to other devices cannot be made without the Apple Reliés this way.

The commission of the last detail, comme on the day. Apple has compromised the use of the committee with an innovation frein and the usual argument risking the confidentiality of users of the iPhone port via the API.
