The below only applies to White Label app clients (your own app in AppStore and Google Play).
Action Needed to Keep Your App in the EU App Store
Important
Under the EU’s new Digital Services Act (DSA), Apple now requires Account Holders to declare whether they’re acting as a “trader” for apps available in the EU.
This quick update needs to be done by February 17, 2025 to keep your app available to the European Ventla team (for support purposes and more) or live in EU countries.
How to know if you're a trader
For the full rundown, check out Apple’s guidelines here: Manage European Union Digital Services Act trader requirements.
Here’s How to Update Your Trader Status
First, log in to Apple Developer (https://developer.apple.com/account) and verify that the address listed under “Membership details” (further down the page after signing in) matches the address associated with your legal entity name (and the account name).
If the information under "Membership details" is NOT correct, DO NOT PROCEED, but instead contact [email protected] for further guidance.
Once confirmed;
Log in to App Store Connect (https://appstoreconnect.apple.com) using your Account Holder credentials.
Go to the Business section.
You should see a banner at the top prompting you to declare your trader status—just click on it to get started.
Choose one of the following and then click Next:
“I’m a trader under the DSA”
“I’m not a trader under the DSA or I don’t plan to distribute in the EU”
Submit, and if nothing else you’re done! Please note: Depending on your response, Apple may ask you for additional details.
Also, please check for any other banners prompting your attention in App Store Connect and try to resolve those as well. If you’re unsure what to do, feel free to contact Jacob at the email above.
