Ironic that DMA forcing Apple to create a way for legitimate third party app stores to be established is leading to good press for shady app stores like AppValley and the like that abuse enterprise signing certificates to bypass App Store's "security".
It goes to show that Apple's whinging about the risks inherent with the DMA are unfounded when it's been possible to bypass the app store this way already.
The BBC piece is pretty fluffy, it's not clear how this person thinks they'll get approved without shutting down AppValley first.

There is no reason according to DMA under which this person shouldn't be allowed to run his own store. If blocked he can take the case to an EU court and win.
