In instructions to Google, Judge Rossignoli says that the company must “adopt the necessary technical means to immediately uninstall from Android systems that report IP addresses in the territory of the Argentine Republic (which can be verified by the IP addresses assigned to this country), the application named Magis TV.”

"What was achieved is an unprecedented court order, which is in the process of being analyzed by Google – we understand that they cannot deny it – which is to uninstall, through the Android operating system update, the application on all devices that have an IP address in Argentina,” [prosecuter Alejandro] Musso says.

Its just that Apple doesnt allow sideloading and thus can demand a takedown which could result in an automatic uninstall.

Wasn't recently a resolution in the EU to allow apple to have alternative app stores and thus allow side loading?

Which applies to EU countries.
Not sure if apple is going to do separate builds for separate regions
