To do this, the sale of developers or software in the app store should demonstrate the so -called merchant status. DSA specifies traders (or dealers / traders) that they have to publish their address and e-mail on online trading platforms such as app stores. So far, not all app vendors still do this. Apple writes about it In your developer support fieldThat the deletion started. “Since (18 February), apps have been removed from the app store without the trader’s position in the European Union (EU) until the status of the trader can be submitted and can be tested by Apple. . “
After all, the distance from the app store does not mean the distance due to the DSA guidelines that the providers lose this sales option all the time. “To complete the account holder or admission Digital Services Act in the Apple Developer Program, you have to store your (trader) status in App Store Connect.” Apple publishes accurate instructions on how to do it On their websiteThe warning has already been pronounced several times, accordingly developers should really know the problem.

Small gods, especially from the United States, react with incompatibility with DSA requirements. Even there were people who had announced that they would remove their apps from the European Union App Store instead of publishing their personal address, which would be necessary if any commercial address was missing.
Other developers were not sure that they fall under the “trader” category according to the DSA. However, this is relatively clear: if the software is developed with the intention of earning profit and the provider is subject to VAT, it is a “merchant” with great certainty.
