Response To The Subcommittee on Competition Policy, Antitrust, and Consumer Rights Hearing on “Antitrust Applied: Examining Competition in App Stores”

We write to express the views of software developers with regards to the hearing examining
competition in app stores. The Developers Alliance represents over 70,000 developers from 50
states and many countries including the EU, UK, Canada and Australia, and has advocated for
software developers for almost a decade. Our members seek to ensure a thriving app ecosystem
that allows developers to profitably reach consumers around the world. An accurate picture of how
developers are impacted by the app store ecosystem is necessary to establish policy that
encourages competition and sector growth. While developers and app stores don’t always agree,
the existing system functions well and has been central to the success of developers and their
ability to scale and reach new markets.
