I doesn't read like there will be one app for all EU citizens:

“One common set of standards and specifications, many different wallets”

“Every Member State will need to provide its citizens with at least one EUDI wallet.”

“Start building your EU Digital Identity Wallet solutions”

She (or her writers) should have said “software protocol” or something like that.

Let me know if I have misunderstood.
