Apple Geofences Third-Party Browser Engine Development and Testing on iOS to EU
May 17, 2024, 04:21 PM
Apple has implemented geofencing to limit the development and testing of third-party browser engines to devices physically located within the European Union. This move is in response to European law that requires Apple to allow third-party browser engines on iOS devices. However, the restriction makes it difficult for developers to work on and support these rival engines outside the EU, as they must have staff and devices located within the region. It is now impossible for developers to test third-party web engines outside the EU.
