Will developers have to submit to the Apple Worldwide AppStore that excludes EU countries? Then submit a separate build to the Apple EU AppStore?
Their strategy is to reduce the economies of scale that you can achieve, and thus make them less attractive since as a developer you could not sell as much on those app stores.
Is that true? I thought it is one app store, they just filter the content according to your region, language, etc. After all I don't have to install another app store app (unlike Amazon shopping which has different apps for different regions) when I go to another country.
This is kind of subjective isn't it then? I can argue that any app that shows different content to different users is actually a separate app for each user, since all the data is "segregated in the backend". IMO the proper measure of this has to be the user-facing actual app. Not some abstract concept of an app in the backend.
