EU Commission calls off investigation into Apple

The European Commission is calling off the investigation into Apple's ban on cross-compilers after Apple reversed the policy. The EU also claims that the policy change was a direct result of their investigation.
"Apple's response to our preliminary investigations shows that the Commission can use the competition rules to achieve swift results on the market with clear benefits for consumers, without the need to open formal proceedings," Almunia said.
While the FTC/EU investigation is certainly one of the leading theories behind Apple's new App Store policies and guidelines, others have suggested increased competition from Google's Android, and a desire to have games in the App Store based on engines like Unity and Unreal.
So which theory is correct? Or was it a combination of factors that made Apple change their minds?
