Apple app removals follow the Digital Services Act, a European law requiring all app traders to display verified contact details, including address, email, and phone number.

Apple has removed thousands of apps from its European Union App Store for failing to comply with the Digital Services Act, which requires developers to provide a verified address, email, and phone number.

This move is part of Apple’s broader efforts to adhere to new regulations aimed at increasing transparency and accountability in digital marketplaces. Developers who have not submitted the required information will see their apps delisted until they provide and verify their trader status.
