Apple Inc. was sued on Monday by French app developers that accused the iPhone maker of violating U.S. antitrust law by overcharging them to use its app store.

The plaintiffs in the proposed class action include Société du Figaro, which develops the Figaro news app; L‘Équipe 24/24, which develops the L’Équipe sports news and streaming app, and Le Geste, an association of French content providers.
