In September 2021, the court ruled with Apple on nine of the ten counts but did find Apple in violation of California’s anti-steering policies. This kicked off a massive legal battle that saw Apple and Epic meet in court. We will make every effort to work with Epic to resolve these violations so they can return Fortnite to the App Store.” The fact that their business interests now lead them to push for a special arrangement does not change the fact that these guidelines create a level playing field for all developers and make the store safe for all users. Epic agreed to the App Store terms and guidelines freely and we’re glad they’ve built such a successful business on the App Store. Epic enabled a feature in its app which was not reviewed or approved by Apple, and they did so with the express intent of violating the App Store guidelines regarding in-app payments that apply to every developer who sells digital goods or services.Įpic has had apps on the App Store for a decade, and have benefited from the App Store ecosystem – including its tools, testing, and distribution that Apple provides to all developers. “Today, Epic Games took the unfortunate step of violating the App Store guidelines that are applied equally to every developer and designed to keep the store safe for our users.Īs a result, their Fortnite app has been removed from the store.
