TL;DR

EU industry chief Thierry Breton warns large online platforms against threatening developers, expressing concern over Apple's move to prevent Epic Games from launching its own online marketplace on iPhones and iPads in Europe. Breton cites the Digital Markets Act (DMA) and vows to look into Apple's termination of Epic's developer account as a priority, while the European Commission has asked Apple to explain its actions under the DMA. Apple defends its decision, citing Epic's past breaches of contract, while Epic accuses Apple of removing a potential competitor to the Apple App Store.
