Comment by European Commission
EU's executive body
Under Article 6(7) of the DMA, Apple must provide developers and businesses with free and effective interoperability with hardware and software features controlled by its operating systems iOS and iPadOS. The objective of Article 6(7) DMA is that devices, apps and products from third parties can be used on an iPhone as seamlessly as Apple’s own products. The specification decisions adopted today support Apple in achieving this objective, by detailing how to securely allow third parties to use certain features that are so far only available to Apple devices.AI Verified source (2025)

The quote directly discusses a legal requirement that Apple provide developers and businesses with 'free and effective interoperability' with iOS/iPadOS features, so it is clearly about granting developers interoperability rights against a large platform rather than leaving access to Apple’s permission.

The quote clearly says Apple "must provide developers and businesses with free and effective interoperability," which supports interoperability, but it does not explicitly say developers can do so "without permission."

Verified: the source URL redirects to the European Commission’s DMA interoperability page, where the first paragraph appears verbatim, and the second paragraph appears verbatim on the Commission’s EU Citizens Q&A page. The text is correctly attributed to the European Commission and dates to its 19 March 2025 Apple interoperability decisions, though the two-paragraph block is compiled from two official Commission pages rather than a single page.

Source URL (digital-markets-act.ec.europa.eu Q&A on interoperability) returns HTTP 403 from WebFetch. Web search confirms the European Commission DMA Q&A pages contain near-identical wording: under Article 6(7) of the DMA, Apple must provide developers and businesses with free and effective interoperability with hardware and software features controlled by iOS and iPadOS, and the Commission's specification decisions detail how to securely allow third parties to use features so far only available to Apple devices. Vote (For 'Grant developers the right to interoperate with large platforms without permission') aligns with the EC position. Marking ai_unverifiable per protocol because I cannot directly fetch the source page.
