Epic Games and Apple are embroiled in a major App Store legal battle. The outcome might have significant repercussions on how the App Store and Google Play operate. Epic provoked the crisis last summer. The company intentionally added its own payment option to Fortnite on iPhone, defying Apple’s App Store rules. Apple swiftly banned Epic, and Fortnite hasn’t been available on Apple devices ever since. A year later, Epic has asked Apple to reinstate its Fortnite developer account. The company wants to bring Fortnite back to iPhone in Korea. Epic intends to take advantage of a new bill in the country. The legislation will force Apple and Google to allow third-party payment options in apps like Fortnite. Apple already responded, indicating that it won’t restore Epic’s App Store account in the region.
