Apple App Store opens third-party payments for another 90 days
According to news on August 10, although Apple can be described as a "big victory" in the lawsuit with Epic Games, it was ordered by the US court to change the "Anti-steering Rules". The court ruled that Apple had an anti-competitive behavior of "anti-guidance strategy" during the operation of the App Store, requiring Apple to open permissions to developers and allow them to add buttons that guide users to use third-party payments, exempting them from the 30% platform commission. Judge Yvonne Gonzalez Rogers of the U.S. Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals previously ruled that Apple cannot prevent iOS developers from using third-party payment platforms in their apps and rejected Apple's appeal. Apple appealed to the US Supreme Court again in July this year, hoping that the judge can reconsider the ruling. Apple's appeal is currently underway, and by applying to appeal, it was granted a 90-day grace period, which could take longer before it can take any action if the process goes to trial. (IT House)

Google releases AI code editor: Project IDX
Officials say that one of the pain points that developers are currently facing is that it is difficult to configure the technical environment and stack to run a specific project. If a developer wants to switch from a desktop computer to a laptop computer, the versions need to be synchronized, and there may be inconsistencies in the behavior of some codes on the two devices. Google's Project IDX project hopes to alleviate this problem. The project seamlessly connects key technologies and is based on Code OSS (the open source version of Microsoft's VS Code), which means that developers can get started quickly. Project IDX runs on a cloud-based Linux virtual machine, and provides framework templates such as Flutter, Angular, React, and Next.js, and allows developers to configure them freely to meet individual development needs.
