The EU’s Digital Market Act (DMA) regulates criteria for gatekeepers. Gatekeepers are therefore large digital platforms that offer so-called core platform services, such as online search engines, app stores and messenger services. Gatekeepers must therefore comply with the requirements and prohibitions listed in the DMA.
The Apple iOS App Store has been defined as a gatekeeper and Apple must therefore comply with the regulations of the DMA since March 7, 2024 and thus allow alternative app marketplaces for iOS apps, among other things.
This regulation applies analogously to the iPadOS App Store and iPadOS apps since 16.09.2024.
mobivention offers such an alternative with the mobivention App marketplace.
The App marketplace offers corporate customers the opportunity to distribute their iOS and iPadOS apps via an alternative app marketplace.
The focus here is on apps that are firstly used internally by employees and secondly apps that cannot or should not be published publicly in the App Store due to other conditions. At the start, the offer is limited to free apps. It is irrelevant whether they developed the apps themselves or had them developed by a service provider.
First of all, you need an Apple developer account with Apple. You then upload the apps you want to distribute and release them for distribution via the mobivention App Marketplace.
We retrieve the information provided, then offer you the option of providing further metadata about your app in our administration system and finally you release the app for review.
The app is subjected to the test criteria specified by Apple and then released for distribution.
Users install the App marketplace via a link and are then able to install their apps on their iPhone.
The App marketplace is constantly being expanded and new requirements are seamlessly integrated into the App marketplace.
For companies that want to distribute their own apps securely and efficiently to their employees, we offer our robust and user-friendly platform.
Our service enables you to deliver your internal apps seamlessly and directly to your employees’ devices.
This not only promotes productivity and efficiency within your company, but also ensures secure and controlled distribution of your company software.
For companies interested in even deeper customization, we offer the option of licensing our advanced Marketplace technology. This includes not only our backend, but also the app that you can use as part of your customer projects.
Our technology provides a solid foundation for the development of a fully customized marketplace that meets both your specific requirements and those of your customers.
Benefit from our robust, scalable and flexible technology to make your digital projects a success.
No matter what challenges you want to overcome in the digital world – mobivention is at your side as a partner. Contact us today to find out how we can help your business succeed with our customized solutions.
