Apple on Wednesday debuted a new website dedicated to showing its support for app developers and just how much Apple welcomes competition from non-Apple apps, including those from companies that claim Apple is an anti-competitive app-producing behemoth.

The new site comes as Apple deals with a formal complaint from music-streaming giant Spotify, which in March filed charges against Apple with the European Commission. Spotify alleges that Apple has used the strength of the App Store to institute policies designed to reduce consumers’ choices in music-streaming apps and make it difficult for developers to create apps that compete against similar options offered by Apple.
