Apple has restructured its management in the App Store division by splitting into two teams: one overseeing Apple’s original App Store and another managing the Alt Store for external developers, tailored to comply with the European Union’s digital laws.
The repercussions of this new structure saw Matt Fischer, Apple’s vice president in charge of the App Store, announcing his resignation from the company in mid-October. Fischer had reportedly been planning his departure for some time, and with Apple’s announcement of the new App Store structure, it presented a prime opportunity for the team members to step up and take over. Carson Oliver now oversees Apple’s App Store section, while Ann Thai manages the Alt Store, with Phil Schiller overseeing both sections.
Matt Fischer has been with Apple since 2003, initially overseeing the iTunes Music Store and later becoming the vice president in charge of the App Store in 2010. Under his leadership, the platform saw significant growth and revenue generation for Apple.

Fischer had been with Apple since 2003 and played a vital role in the App Store’s growth and revenue generation.
