Epic hopes courts force Apple to approve Fortnite’s return to the U.S. App Store

EPIC has filed a “second motion to enforce injunction” requiring U.S. District Court Northern District of California to force Apple to review its timely Fortnite and approve its compliance. The company recently accused Apple of blocking Fortnite’s Return to the US and EU app stores. EPIC submitted the app for approval after winning the case against iPhone manufacturers. Specifically, after the court ordered the cessation of purchases that were not paid through the App Store and allowed the application of external payment links.

Epic says Apple is blocking Fortnite’s Back at the App Store, the tech giant wrote a letter to video game developers. Apple said in it until after the Ninth Circuit rule [its] It told EPIC to resubmit the application to the EU storefront separately from the submissions submitted by the United States. Of course, Apple appealed the court’s order to stop the payment committee’s orders made within the App Store. It also made a request to the court that the order would pay it to make it pay, put it into practice, and pay it.

Epic said in a post on X that Apple submitted two different versions of the proposal Fortnite Because the review violates its own guidelines, the guidelines prohibit developers from submitting multiple versions of the same application. “This is not a standard for Apple to hold other developers, it prevents us from releasing in the EU and in our updates,” it wrote. Epic also asserted that this submission did not violate any rules. Video game developers claimed in their filing that Apple’s denial was “opposition to Epic’s challenge to Apple’s anti-competitive behavior and expose its lies to blatant revenge in court, which ultimately led to an injunction and contempt order.”
